How KIWI compares with a typical Farr 31

Her main 2025 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Farr 31s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical Farr 31; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind-0.25 kn
Beam reach-0.40 kn
Broad reach-0.56 kn
Downwind-0.47 kn

Full width is 1.6 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical Farr 31 on the broad reach.
