The vessel sails 6 knots in good wind. She can be comfortably sailed with a crew of two.

The current owners have since 1967 put an incredible amount of work to restore Klara to sailing conditions but with more modern material in the sails and rigging, to be able to sail with less crew. An example of modernization while maintaining the old look is the mainsail, which is an effective fork sail (with integrated top sail) after Uffa Fox's ideas with Wish Bone Fork.
Rig constructions and sail calculations is not made to participate in races. But for a long keeled boat with low mast height easy to sail, and work comfortably with less crew.
