Vandal - NOR15553
Sailing performance analysis for a VQ 32 from 2008, built by Modus Marine Lelys and designed by Dick Koopmans.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 14/04/2025
A versatile cruiser-racer, this boat offers a balanced performance across various conditions. It reaches 5.97 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind and can achieve 10.04 knots in strong winds of 20 knots. The large symmetric spinnaker enhances its downwind capabilities, allowing for stronger performance compared to peers. The balanced sail plan includes a well-sized jib relative to the mainsail, ensuring good handling and speed on all 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.
Measured sails
Spinnaker measurements were not supported before this season's certificates. If no spinnaker is shown, that's why.
