How VELOCE compares with a typical J/99

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, J/99s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical J/99; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind-0.01 kn

Broad reach+0.00 kn
Downwind+0.01 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.

At 10 knots she sails level with a typical J/99 across the course.
