How FRA' PAOLELE compares with a typical Grand Soleil 40

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Grand Soleil 40s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical Grand Soleil 40; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind+0.00 kn

Broad reach-0.04 kn
Downwind-0.06 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical Grand Soleil 40 on the downwind.
