Luna - NOR10766
Sailing performance analysis for a First 27.7 from 2003, built by Beneteau and designed by Finot.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 04/04/2026
This cruiser-racer from Beneteau offers a balanced performance profile for both cruising and competitive sailing. It reaches 5.4 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind and shows planing potential with speeds up to 8.95 knots in 20 knots of wind. The boat carries a compact jib compared to its mainsail, complemented by an asymmetric spinnaker for downwind runs.
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.
