How HELIOS compares with a typical Discovery 300

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Discovery 300s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical Discovery 300; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind-0.15 kn
Beam reach-0.51 kn
Broad reach-0.96 kn
Downwind-0.65 kn

Full width is 1.0 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical Discovery 300 on the broad reach.
