Historical sail data

How these numbers are calculated.

Every profile summarizes measurements observed on matching boats. It is useful comparison context, not a production specification.

Example: A2 areaPositions use actual measurement values
Min111.2m²
P10111.2m²
Median111.2m²
P90117.0m²
Max122.7m²
01

Collect matching measurements

Each dimension uses valid records from the same boat model and sail profile.

02

Keep the typical range

P10–P90 contains the middle 80% of observations. The lowest and highest 10% remain outside the displayed range.

03

Use the median as centre

The median is the middle observation, so an unusual measurement affects it less than an average.

Final dimensions are confirmed onboard before design review and production.

Model data is context, not a build specification. Rig version, hardware and final onboard measurements are confirmed before production.
