Orca has maximum beam and righting moment under the Class 40 rule ( 320 kg/ metres) and Class 40 displacement of around 4650 Kgs.

Finished 5 th Class 40 out of 9 starters in 2010 two- handed Round Britain Race , 13 hours behind the first boat after over 2000 miles of racing ( we lost some time with tidal gates and light winds) , including a Force 9 with 7 to 8 metre seas off the south east of the Shetlands. Boat for boat performance showed Orca to be competitive and exceptionally quick ( in the small amount we had of) reaching The boat won the Class 40 division in the 2009 Round the Island race and was 9 th Class 40 out of 19 in last year's Fastnet . We ( Tom Humphreys and me) showed good boat speed and were mid fleet in the Class 40 race to the Azores in 2009 before losing the big spi and breaking the main halyard.
