How GAIA compares with a typical Comet 36
Her main 2025 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Comet 36s measured since 2025.
Above the line she is quicker than a typical Comet 36; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.
Full width is 0.6 kn either way.
At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical Comet 36 on the broad reach.
