How HAKUNA MATATA compares with a typical Bavaria 44

Her main 2025 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Bavaria 44s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical Bavaria 44; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind+0.13 kn
Beam reach-0.15 kn
Broad reach-0.02 kn
Downwind-0.01 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical Bavaria 44 on the beam reach.
