Hegren - NOR16365
Sailing performance analysis for a Aphrodite 101 from 1986, built by BIANCA YACHTS and designed by KJAERULFFJAN/ELVSTROMP.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 07/04/2026
A versatile cruiser-racer designed for performance across a range of conditions. It reaches 5.7 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind and can hit 8.4 knots in strong winds. The symmetric spinnaker is modest for its size, which can limit downwind speed to 5.1 knots in 10 knots of wind. The large genoa relative to the mainsail helps with power and balance 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.
