Falkungen - NOR16193
Sailing performance analysis for a Spirit 30' from 2023, built by Spirit Yachts and designed by Alan Boswell.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 05/05/2026
A performance sailboat that truly shines in light air, this Spirit 30' is well-powered for its size. It reaches an impressive 6.7 knots on a reach in 10 knots of wind and shows planing potential with speeds up to 9.3 knots in 20 knots of breeze. While it may not be an upwind flyer, achieving 5.4 knots upwind in moderate conditions, its compact jib complements the mainsail well. Equipped with a symmetric spinnaker, it's set up for competitive downwind runs.
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.
