Reverso Air Performance

How the Reverso Air performs on the water — racing handicap, speed, sail-carrying power, stability and comfort.

+ Add to Compare

The Reverso Air is with a quick, snappy motion best suited to day sailing.

Hull Speed

The theoretical displacement-mode speed limit — determined by waterline length, not engine or sail power.

4.1 kts
A displacement hull pushes a bow wave whose speed is limited by the waterline length.

Performance Ratios

Racing handicap, sail-carrying power, stability and comfort — and what each one actually tells you about a day on the water.

Displacement / Length
72
Ultralight — responsive and fast, but carries less stores.
Comfort Ratio
2.6
Quick, snappy motion — better for day sails and racing than long passages.
Hull Speed
4.1kts
Pounds/Inch Immersion
1lbs
Weight needed to sink the hull one inch — loading sensitivity.

Motion & Offshore Suitability

Comfort Ratio
2.6
Quick, snappy motion — better for day sails and racing than long passages.
Under 20 — Snappy, racing motion
