How KNOT A CLUE compares with a typical Oceanis 323

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Oceanis 323s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical Oceanis 323; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind-0.23 kn
