Cebina - NOR12111
Sailing performance analysis for a GRAND SOLEIL 40 C from 2005, built by Cantiere del Pardo and designed by PAPERINIMASSIMO.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 04/05/2026
This cruiser-racer is well-powered for its size, making it a strong performer upwind and on a reach. It reaches speeds of 6.5 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind and 7.6 knots on a reach in the same conditions. Downwind, it carries a symmetric spinnaker, but still struggles compared to peers, achieving 5.4 knots in 10 knots of wind. The large genoa relative to the mainsail ensures efficient power on all points of sail.
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.
