SHADOWFAX - NOR10482
Sailing performance analysis for a FIRST 36.7 CR from 2003, built by Beneteau and designed by Bruce Farr.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 14/04/2026
A well-rounded cruiser-racer that achieves 6.1 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind. It can reach speeds of 7.9 knots in fresh breezes of 14 knots, making it versatile across different conditions. However, it shows some weakness downwind at 5.3 knots in 10 knots of wind, even with its symmetric spinnaker. The sail plan is balanced, with a jib that complements the mainsail well.
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.
