Flying Circus - NOR11040
Sailing performance analysis for a Salona 40 from 2005, built by AD Boats and designed by JAKOPIN&JAKOPIN.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 14/04/2026
This Salona 40 is categorized as a motorsailer, offering steady performance with comfort in mind. It reaches 6.3 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind, though it doesn't excel in this area. Downwind, the boat reaches 5.4 knots under a symmetric spinnaker in the same wind, but it struggles to match the pace of more agile competitors. Equipped with a compact jib relative to its mainsail, it's modestly canvassed for its size.
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.
