How SEARCHER compares with a typical Ker 46
Her main 2025 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Ker 46s measured since 2025.
Above the line she is quicker than a typical Ker 46; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.
Full width is 0.6 kn either way.
At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical Ker 46 on the beam reach.
