Abelone - NOR2146
Sailing performance analysis for a ONE OFF from 1979, built by Vaterland Båtbyggeri and designed by Birger Braadland.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 22/05/2025
This performance sailboat is well-powered for its size, making it a solid choice for sailors seeking speed. It reaches 5.7 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind and can hit 8.5 knots in strong winds of 20 knots. The sail wardrobe includes a balanced sail plan with a symmetric spinnaker, though it's modest compared to similar boats. This setup ensures versatility across different wind conditions.
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.
