How XAR compares with a typical Xp 44

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Xp 44s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical Xp 44; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind-0.20 kn

Broad reach-0.15 kn
Downwind-0.16 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical Xp 44 on the upwind.
