A short windward-leeward and a night at sea ask different things of a boat. Here is how this one does in each.

Better the longer it gets. Boats that settle into a groove and hold it gain ground once the course stops turning.

Where it wins and where it pays
Every boat is judged against its own measurements — length, weight, sail area. The quicker those say it should be, the more it has to deliver just to break even. Going fast is not enough: it has to go faster than its own numbers promised.
It needs pressure to show what it can do. Give it a fresh day and long legs and it delivers more than it promised; in a drifter it is working uphill.
Where it gains
Its best ground is downwind in a strong breeze, where it goes better than its measurements say it should, and by a margin worth having. It holds that advantage off the wind as well, so the gain is not down to one leg of the course.
Where it pays
There is no condition where it falls away badly, which is worth something over a season of mixed weather.
Above the line it delivers more than promised and gains on the fleet. Below, it falls short. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.
Full width is 1.8 kn either way.
At 10 knots this design makes back more than its rating asks on the broad reach.

How they are set up
The range each sail spans across the fleet.
Nearly all carry a folding propeller. A bowsprit is standard across the fleet. Crew weight is declared around 610 kg.
Rigging
Fiumanka 33 rig and sail dimensions
A Fiumanka 33 carries 13.90 m of mainsail hoist on a 4.56 m boom, a forestay 14.10 m above the deck and a 5.11 m bowsprit. Typical figures across the 3 boats measured under the current VPP, with the range each one spans.

Sails
The spinnaker spreads widest of all — 105 to 132 m² depending on bowsprit and set-up. Before ordering a sail, read the figure on your own measurement record rather than the typical one for the design.
