How DRAGO compares with a typical J/22

Her main 2025 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, J/22s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical J/22; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind+0.06 kn
Beam reach+0.00 kn
Broad reach+0.01 kn
Downwind+0.01 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.
