Fru Luna - NOR14971
Sailing performance analysis for a Bavaria 36 Cruiser from 2012, built by Bavaria and designed by Jakopin&Jakopin.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 22/04/2025
This Bavaria 36 Cruiser is a motorsailer that offers stable cruising, designed more for comfort than speed. It reaches 5.7 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind and can hit 8.0 knots in fresher conditions. Downwind, it manages 5.1 knots, but its performance is hampered by the modestly sized asymmetric spinnaker. The sail wardrobe includes a compact jib relative to the mainsail, adding to its ease of handling.
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.
