Sailing performance analysis for a Fareast 28R from 2015, built by Far East and designed by Simonis Voogd.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 23/04/2026
A pure racer with impressive planing potential, this boat accelerates to 13.32 knots in strong winds. Upwind, it reaches 6.13 knots in 10 knots of breeze, showcasing its strong performance in tight angles. Downwind, the large asymmetric spinnaker boosts its speed to 5.83 knots in moderate winds, making it fast for its size. The balanced sail plan ensures versatility, with a well-powered setup that includes a compact jib relative to the mainsail.
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.
