Madeleine - NOR14798
Sailing performance analysis for a Bavaria 36 from 2012, built by Bavaria Yachtbau and designed by Jakopin&Jakopin.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 05/05/2025
A motorsailer at heart, this Bavaria 36 offers balanced sailing with a modest sail plan for its size. Expect 5.5 knots upwind in moderate 10-knot winds, but be aware that it's not an upwind flyer. Downwind, it manages 5.1 knots in the same conditions, with an asymmetric spinnaker that struggles to match larger competitors. The sail plan is well-balanced, with a jib size proportionate to the mainsail, ensuring stable 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.
