Topplente - NOR16435
Sailing performance analysis for a Harp8 (series year 2015), built by HARPPRECHT and designed by HARPPRECHT.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 18/08/2026
A pure racer, this boat thrives on speed with a top pace of 14.57 knots in 20 knots of wind. It shows strong upwind capabilities, hitting 6.23 knots upwind in 10 knots of breeze. Downwind, it benefits from a large asymmetric spinnaker, reaching 5.75 knots in 10 knots of wind. The jib is compact compared to the mainsail, emphasizing its ability to perform well upwind.
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.
