Norte - NOR7471
Sailing performance analysis for a Scanmar 345 from 1987, built by Br. Børjesson and designed by Rolf Magnusson.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 27/05/2026
This comfort cruiser is designed for easy and enjoyable sailing. It reaches 5.6 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind, making it a reliable performer on most cruising courses. While it may struggle downwind with a speed of 5.1 knots in the same wind, the large symmetric spinnaker helps to maximize its potential. The sail plan is well-balanced, with sails that complement each other for a smooth sailing experience.
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.
