How SUGAR compares with a typical X-40

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, X-40s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical X-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+0.00 kn
Beam reach-0.08 kn
Broad reach+0.02 kn
Downwind+0.04 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical X-40 on the beam reach.
