Fine Line - NOR16700
Sailing performance analysis for a First 30 Manuard (series year 2025), built by Beneteau and designed by Manuard.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 08/06/2026
A performance sailboat that's well-powered for its size, Fine Line makes the most of its design with 7.5 knots on a reach in 10 knots of wind. It shows planing potential, reaching up to 10.8 knots in strong winds. The large asymmetric spinnaker boosts its downwind capabilities, achieving 5.5 knots in 10 knots of wind. The balanced sail plan features a jib that complements the mainsail perfectly.
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.
