there are some interesting polardiagrams to be found around on the forum. they may very well be right, but I can not understand that a 370, 400 and 430 all reach the same maximum speed ( more or less), and the 400 fastest of the 3.

The diagrams are posted under the below link (upload images worked only on the 370 forum)
 
For those of you sailing under LYS, I can inform that my 400 was rated 1,33 with a masthead genaker and 135% genoa.....good when it comes to a figure of the potential, but a penalty was paid for the masthead. If I had a normal sized spinnaker I would have 1,31 or 1,32.
 
I was told the masthead was standard...that is not right.
 
So watch out
