How UTOPIA compares with a typical First 40

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

Above the line she is quicker than a typical First 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-0.26 kn
Beam reach-0.09 kn
Broad reach-0.13 kn
Downwind-0.15 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical First 40 on the upwind.
