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 does most things without giving much away. It rewards preparation and crew work more than it rewards picking the right day.
Where it gains
Its best ground is to windward in a strong breeze, where it does more than its size and sail area promise, and by a margin worth having.
Where it pays
It falls short on a broad reach when it blows, giving away time it never gets back. That is a displacement hull working to its designed speed.
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 0.4 kn either way.
At 10 knots this design makes back more than its rating asks on the upwind.

How they are set up
The range each sail spans across the fleet.
Nearly all carry a folding propeller. Crew weight is declared around 610 kg.
Rigging
X-362 rig and sail dimensions
A X-362 carries 13.65 m of mainsail hoist on a 4.64 m boom, a forestay 14.21 m above the deck and a 4.14 m bowsprit. Typical figures across the 28 boats measured under the current VPP, with the range each one spans.
Rig
Sails
The spinnaker spreads widest of all — 69 to 95 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.
