Round the buoys, or offshore

A short windward-leeward and a night at sea ask different things of a boat.

Sharper round the buoys. Short courses reward acceleration and manoeuvring, and that is where this design makes its money.

How VELOS compares with a typical TP 52

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, TP 52s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical TP 52; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind-0.12 kn
Beam reach-0.11 kn
Broad reach-0.03 kn
Downwind-0.01 kn

Full width is 0.6 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical TP 52 on the upwind.
