Adjusted finish rateLower bound of the 95 % confidence interval (Wilson) of the finish rate: a boat with 1 finish out of 1 start gets 21 %, not 100 %. Greyed out under 5 starts.Computed on 10 Nov 2026.See in the glossary

Mean performanceShare of the fleet beaten, averaged over every start: each classified result counts for its percentile (100 % for the winner, 0 % for the last), each retirement or disqualification for 0 %, as the last. It thus accounts for the finish rate: a fast boat that often breaks drops. A finish without a known place does not count. Greyed out under 3 counted results.Computed on 10 Nov 2026.See in the glossary
