How HERMES 3 compares with a typical Pogo 12.50

Above the line she is quicker than a typical Pogo 12.50; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind+0.14 kn
Beam reach+0.29 kn
Broad reach+0.15 kn
Downwind+0.15 kn

Full width is 0.6 kn either way.
