Twist - NOR15463
Sailing performance analysis for a Bavaria 34 Cruiser from 2008, built by Bavaria Yachtbau and designed by J&J.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 16/03/2026
A comfort cruiser designed for leisurely sailing, this boat reaches 5.96 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind. Downwind performance is limited, achieving 4.8 knots without a spinnaker. The sail plan is balanced with a modestly sized jib relative to the mainsail, making it easy to handle. Overall, it's not built for speed, but for relaxed and enjoyable cruising.
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.
