Round the buoys, or offshore

A short windward-leeward and a night at sea ask different things of a boat.

Offshore & coastal

13 races over 10 NM

Level across both. Plenty of designs fall away once the course gets long — a light hull that thrives round the cans can struggle through a night at sea. This one does not.

18 more races without a published distance count in the podium figures, not in this split.
