How MATADOR compares with a typical Elliott 44

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Elliott 44s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical Elliott 44; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind+0.01 kn
Beam reach+0.03 kn
Broad reach+0.01 kn
Downwind+0.02 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.

At 10 knots she sails level with a typical Elliott 44 across the course.
