How LITHIAN compares with a typical Swan 41

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Swan 41s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical Swan 41; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind-0.10 kn
Beam reach-0.02 kn
Broad reach-0.03 kn
Downwind-0.13 kn

Full width is 0.6 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical Swan 41 on the downwind.
