How SOFFIO compares with a typical Grand Soleil 40

Her main 2025 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Grand Soleil 40s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical Grand Soleil 40; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind+0.16 kn
Beam reach+0.18 kn
Broad reach+0.06 kn
Downwind+0.10 kn

Full width is 0.6 kn either way.

At 10 knots she is quicker than a typical Grand Soleil 40 on the beam reach.
