WII - NOR141
Sailing performance analysis for a PLATU 25 MOD from 1997, built by Beneteau and designed by FARR.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC)
This performance sailboat is known for its speed and agility. It achieves 5.8 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind, showing its strength on the beat. Downwind, it benefits from a fast pace, reaching 5.5 knots with its asymmetric spinnaker in the same wind conditions. The compact jib complements the large mainsail, enhancing its upwind capabilities.
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.
