How CHITA compares with a typical UFO 31

Her main 2025 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, UFO 31s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical UFO 31; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind+0.14 kn
Beam reach+0.10 kn
Broad reach+0.12 kn
Downwind+0.11 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.

At 10 knots she is quicker than a typical UFO 31 on the upwind.
