Christina - NOR10776
Sailing performance analysis for a SUN FAST 36 from 1994, built by Jeanneau and designed by Briand.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 08/06/2026
A comfort cruiser designed for enjoyable sailing rather than outright speed. It reaches 6.1 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind, but downwind performance is less impressive with a speed of 5.1 knots. Equipped with a symmetric spinnaker that's modest for its size, it may not compete with faster boats downwind. The sail plan is balanced, with a well-sized jib relative to the mainsail.
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.
