Muligheten Seilavi - NOR13626
Sailing performance analysis for a BAVARIA 46 CR (series year 2004), built by Bavaria Yachtbau and designed by J&J.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 12/05/2026
This cruiser-racer offers a balanced sailing experience with a focus on versatility. It reaches a comfortable 6.66 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind, while its performance peaks at 10.48 knots in strong conditions. Downwind, it has room to improve, even with its asymmetric spinnaker. The large genoa relative to the mainsail helps optimize upwind performance, although it's not a standout in this aspect.
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.
