What Umberto Felci's boats do well

Umberto Felci has 53 designs in this archive, drawn between 1972 and 2023 for 10 different yards, from 7 metres to 21: a pencil that has worked at both ends of the sport.

The longest of those relationships is with Dufour: 37 designs between 1972 and 2023, 51 years of the same two names on the same transom.

The Esse 850 of 2004 is the most efficient design here, with a Race Edge of 99.

The recent ones tell a different story. The designs drawn since 2010 are plainly quicker against their rating and, more to the point, they have stopped giving the middle band away, which used to be the family weakness.

The work has not stopped: the newest design in the archive is from 2023.
