How FREEWAY compares with a typical First 38

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, First 38s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical First 38; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind-0.22 kn
Beam reach-0.33 kn
Broad reach-1.15 kn
Downwind-1.02 kn

Full width is 1.2 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical First 38 on the broad reach.
