Søster Sol - NOR14497
Sailing performance analysis for a Oceanis 40 from 2011, built by Beneteau and designed by Berret Racoupeau.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 13/05/2025
As a comfort cruiser, this Oceanis 40 is designed for relaxed sailing rather than racing. It reaches 6.1 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind, and its performance improves in stronger conditions, hitting 9.5 knots in 20 knots of wind. While it struggles a bit downwind, the large symmetric spinnaker helps when the wind picks up. The sail plan is balanced, with a modest sail area overall, making it a reliable choice for leisurely voyages.
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.
