Round the buoys, or offshore

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

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 INVICTUS compares with a typical IMX 40

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, IMX 40s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical IMX 40; 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
Beam reach-0.13 kn
Broad reach+0.00 kn
Downwind+0.04 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical IMX 40 on the beam reach.
