Unnamed - NOR7374
Sailing performance analysis for a CONTRAST 33 (series year 1978), built by Contrastbåtar and designed by Rolf Magnusson.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 18/03/2025
This comfort cruiser offers a relaxed sailing experience with a focus on ease rather than speed. It reaches 5.7 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind, but its downwind performance is less competitive, maxing out at 4.9 knots. Equipped with a symmetric spinnaker for downwind sailing, it still trails peers in speed. The large genoa complements the mainsail, making it efficient when close-hauled.
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.
Measured sails
Spinnaker measurements were not supported before this season's certificates. If no spinnaker is shown, that's why.
