Aria - NOR11791
Sailing performance analysis for a BAVARIA 42 CR from 2004, built by Bavaria Yachtbau and designed by J&JDesign.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC)
This comfort cruiser is tailored for easygoing sailing with a balanced sail plan that includes a modest asymmetric spinnaker. In moderate winds of 10 knots, expect to make 6.7 knots upwind. The boat truly shines in stronger winds, reaching speeds of 10.4 knots in 20 knots of wind. Its jib is compact relative to the mainsail, making it efficient on various 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.
