P.O Fykerten - NOR15271
Sailing performance analysis for a Skippi 650i racing from 2003, built by Skippi Yachts and designed by PIESNIEWSKI J.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC)
This performance sailboat is quick for its size, reaching speeds of 7.6 knots on a reach in 10 knots of wind. Upwind, it hits 5.5 knots in the same conditions, showcasing its agility and speed. The boat is equipped with a compact jib and an asymmetric spinnaker, allowing for versatile downwind sailing. Its top speed of 9.2 knots is achieved in 14 knots of wind, making it a solid choice for sailors who value speed and 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.
