BOATS

4 Rustler 36s, 2 Saltram Saga 36s, 2 Cape George 36s
Sixteen boats of eleven designs, all long-keeled and all drawn before 1988. 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.
Past boats are read from their daily rows at 00:00 UTC; a boat that restarted counts her miles from the restart, so she reads slow since the start.

Finished means the race recorded a finish. ‡ a finish in the Chichester class, after a stop on the way. All told counts the two past races; this year’s boats are still out.
What each design is
as the builder, the designer or the race prints it · hull speed is 1.34 × √waterline, the old rule of thumb
