How PORTHOS compares with a typical Elan 450

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Elan 450s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical Elan 450; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind-0.13 kn
Beam reach+0.02 kn
Broad reach+0.03 kn
Downwind+0.03 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical Elan 450 on the upwind.
