How O.C.ESSE compares with a typical Esse 850

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Esse 850s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical Esse 850; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind+0.19 kn
Beam reach-0.33 kn
Broad reach-0.33 kn
Downwind-0.19 kn

Full width is 1.0 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical Esse 850 on the beam reach.
