How NEXUS compares with a typical X-41

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

Above the line she is quicker than a typical X-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-0.05 kn
Beam reach-0.04 kn
Broad reach+0.24 kn
Downwind+0.16 kn

Full width is 0.8 kn either way.

At 10 knots she is quicker than a typical X-41 on the broad reach.
