Sailing performance analysis for a Nessy 94 (series year 1982), built by Nesmar and designed by Humphreys.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 16/04/2026
This cruiser-racer is well-powered for its size, making it a solid performer on the water. It reaches 6.6 knots on a reach in 10 knots of wind, showcasing its capability in moderate conditions. However, downwind performance is more modest, with speeds of 4.9 knots when running in 10 knots of wind, partly due to its modest symmetric spinnaker. The sail plan is balanced, with a compact jib relative to the mainsail, ensuring a versatile sailing experience.
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.
