Twobears - NOR6693
Sailing performance analysis for a FIRST CLASS 8 from 1982, built by Beneteau and designed by FINOT.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 24/03/2025
This performance sailboat is well-equipped to impress with its speed and agility. It achieves 6.6 knots reaching in 10 knots of wind and shows planing potential, reaching up to 9.3 knots in 20 knots of wind. The boat is strong upwind, making 5.6 knots in 10 knots of wind. Its balanced sail plan includes a symmetric spinnaker and a sail wardrobe that is well-powered for its size, with a compact jib compared to the mainsail.
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.
