The true test of performance is on the water. (SEE ‘RACE RESULTS, 2001’) The Ker designed IRM 10.7, Roaring Meg, surprised everybody with its incredible performance in the first five races of the Commodores Cup in a variety of conditions, before its rig misfortune. Despite being five foot shorter she was consistently finishing amongst the 40ft one-designs, sometimes beating most of the Farr 40s and both Sydney 40s boat for boat. The 11.3s numbers show that it will be over 2% faster than the 10.7 on average across all wind conditions. There is no doubting the scaling effect of the 11.3 over the 10.7. The numbers speak for themselves!
