How NJORD compares with a typical J/122

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, J/122s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical J/122; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind-0.08 kn

Broad reach-0.10 kn
Downwind-0.13 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.
