Who she races against
The designs a Omega 34 actually lines up with, most often first. The bar shows how those meetings ended.
Met too few times for a figure:
Cumulus (1 meeting), X-79 (1 meeting), Albin Ballad (1 meeting), Skippi 650 (1 meeting)
Speed at every angle
The shape of this design's speed, drawn from the measured fleet. Pick a wind and watch it stretch.
Speed in knots at 20 knots of true wind. Green marks the angles that pay: the closest useful beat and the deepest run worth sailing.

Rigging
Omega 34 rig and sail dimensions
A Omega 34 carries 12.80 m of mainsail hoist on a 4.35 m boom, a forestay 11.90 m above the deck. Typical figures across the 5 boats measured under the current VPP, with the range each one spans.
Rig
Sails
The spinnaker spreads widest of all — 62 to 74 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.
