Sixteen boats of eleven designs started, all long-keeled, all of designs the race approves (Notice of Race J.1: drawn before 1988, or a stretch of such a drawing). This page takes the sailor out of the comparison as far as a race allows: every boat on her design’s line, and the same designs in the two races before.

Read with care
The same race day is not the same weather: 2018 started in July, the other two in September, and each fleet met its own winds. Over months the windows will say more than the day does.
Every boat is read from her daily row at 00:00 UTC. A boat that restarted is counted from the restart, miles and hours alike, as on This race: Pär, Damien Guillou (2022).
An open circle is a boat racing that day with no figure at its report, drawn at her latest day with one: Matt (race day 59’s figure: the tracker missed race day 62’s report).
By design
this race · speed for the wind and point of sail: model wind, since the start · see Performance
| Design | Boats | Best place | Median speed, 7 d | Speed for the wind | Like for like | Upwind | Reaching | Running | Best 24 h |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rustler 36 | 4 | 1 | 5.1 kt | 40% | +5% | 4.1 kt | 5.1 kt | 5.2 kt | 182 nm · Damien |
| Cape George 36 | 2 | 4 | 5.6 kt | 40% | −1% | 2.9 kt | 4.8 kt | 5.0 kt | 189 nm · Henry |
| Whole fleet | 13 | 1 | 5.2 kt | 39% | — | 3.6 kt | 4.8 kt | 5.2 kt | 189 nm · Henry |
Like for like: faster (+) or slower (−) than the other designs in the same 3 kt of wind and 15° of angle, over the ground as on the design pages (the Performance page’s figure for each boat takes the ocean current off); it is how the design’s boats have been sailed in this race, skippers included. Every design’s name opens her own page: what she is, her record since 2018, her polars, her strengths and weaknesses.
