Lucille - NOR7607
Sailing performance analysis for a CONTRAST 33 from 1988, built by Contrastbåtar and designed by Rolf Magnusson.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 20/03/2026
This comfort cruiser is designed for smooth and enjoyable sailing rather than racing. It reaches 5.6 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind, but performance is more leisurely downwind at 5.0 knots in the same wind condition. The sail plan is balanced with a symmetric spinnaker, but keep in mind that it's not built for fast downwind runs. Ideal for sailors who prioritize comfort and stability over speed.
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.
