Sailing performance analysis for a Arcona 380 from 2016, built by Arcona Yachts and designed by Stefan Quiberg.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 07/04/2026
A well-balanced cruiser-racer, this vessel achieves 6.4 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind, showcasing its adept handling and speed. With a large asymmetric spinnaker and a balanced sail plan, it's built for performance both upwind and on a reach. It reaches speeds of 7.9 knots on a reach in 10 knots of breeze, and can hit up to 10.1 knots in stronger conditions. Its design offers a good blend of comfort and competitive edge.
Sailing performance as a polar diagram
A polar diagram shows boat speed at different wind angles and wind speeds. The distance from center represents boat speed in knots, and the angle represents the boats angle to the wind. The wind speed is shown as true wind speed (TWS), not apparent wind speed. Likewise, the wind angle is shown as true wind angle (TWA), not apparent wind angle.
Beat: Sailing upwind (toward the wind)
Beam Reach: Sailing across the wind
Run: Sailing downwind (away from the wind)
VMG Performance
Wind Speed (columns): True wind speed (TWS) in knots - the actual wind speed, not the apparent wind you feel on deck.
VMG (Velocity Made Good) is your effective speed toward your destination, not your actual boat speed.
Beat VMG (top bars): Speed made good when sailing upwind. Higher is better - it means you're reaching the windward mark faster.
Run VMG (bottom bars): Speed made good when sailing downwind. Higher is better - it means you're reaching the leeward mark faster.
