Joy - NOR567
Sailing performance analysis for a J-80 OD (series year 1995), built by J-Composites and designed by Rod Johnstone.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 07/04/2026
A performance sailboat with a lightweight build, this vessel is ready to take on the racecourse. It achieves an impressive 6.96 knots on a reach in 10 knots of wind and shows its planing potential with a top speed of 10.96 knots in 20 knots of wind. The boat features a large asymmetric spinnaker, enhancing its downwind capabilities, while the compact jib relative to the mainsail is designed for optimal upwind performance.
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.
