How CHIMERA compares with a typical X-362

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, X-362s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical X-362; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind-0.10 kn
Beam reach+0.00 kn
Broad reach+0.02 kn
Downwind-0.06 kn

Full width is 0.6 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical X-362 on the upwind.
