Round the buoys, or offshore

A short windward-leeward and a night at sea ask different things of a boat.

Offshore & coastal

13 races over 10 NM

Level across both. Plenty of designs fall away once the course gets long — a light hull that thrives round the cans can struggle through a night at sea. This one does not.

How IKAROS compares with a typical First 345

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, First 345s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical First 345; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind+0.00 kn
