Fleet Analytics
Explore the structural diversity of ORC racing — from fleet-wide patterns to individual archetypes.
When you examine a fleet of ORC-rated boats, patterns emerge that no single certificate reveals. FleetEdge analyses 11,207 boats across 959 events with race data (from a 967-event corpus), measuring 52 dimensions per vessel and reducing them to 31 dimensional features through MPAE feature extraction.
11,207 boats in the corpus; 10,623 carry archetype assignments from the MPAE model — 9,493 directly clustered, 1,130 inherited via sister-hull lookup.
The result is a fleet-level view that reveals structural diversity invisible to traditional handicap analysis. Some boats convert rig area into upwind VMG with exceptional efficiency. Others trade rig power for low-drag hull forms that reward reaching angles. The archetype framework makes these patterns visible and comparable.
Eleven archetypes. Eleven structural strategies.
Each archetype represents a distinct combination of hull efficiency, rig power, and stability — a different answer to the same hydrodynamic constraints.
AEROMAX
A pure upwind-power archetype defined by big, efficient rigs and strong VMG bias.
KEELFLEX
A narrow-window performer where heel sensitivity drives both speed and volatility.
GLIDEFORM
A low-drag, hull-efficient downwind specialist with smooth acceleration.
IRONWIND
A stiff, high-RM platform delivering stable drive and predictable load behaviour.
BALANCECORE
A heel-sensitive but more forgiving platform centred on stability over raw power.
STORMLINE
A high-power, heel-sensitive archetype with exceptional speed when sailed flat.
STEELFORM
A rigid, compact-rig design known for consistent, low-variance performance.
GRAVITYRUN
A momentum-driven downwind archetype that thrives in sustained breeze.
AEROBLADE
An aero-refined, heel-sensitive design that rewards precise load management.
HEADFORCE
A pressure-driven upwind performer that pushes compact rigs through drag-heavy hulls.
DEEPFRAME
A deep-hull, drag-efficient platform optimised for flow stability and mid-range conditions.
Compare boats across 52 dimensions.
When you place two boats side by side in FleetEdge, you see more than a handicap number. You see the dimensional profile — hull efficiency relative to the fleet, rig power as a percentile, stability characteristics, and the SailEdge physics predictions that reveal where each boat's design advantages concentrate.
The Fleet View presents every boat in the fleet as a point in performance space. Proximity means structural similarity — boats near each other share design strategies regardless of their rating band or class division.
