How J BLU compares with a typical J/92

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, J/92s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical J/92; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind-0.02 kn
Beam reach-0.08 kn
Broad reach+0.03 kn
Downwind+0.03 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical J/92 on the beam reach.
