How MATAMANOA compares with a typical Comet 45

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Comet 45s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical Comet 45; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind-0.04 kn
Beam reach+0.16 kn
Broad reach-0.04 kn
Downwind-0.05 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.

At 10 knots she is quicker than a typical Comet 45 on the beam reach.
