Baby Boop - NOR329
Sailing performance analysis for a J-80 OD (series year 1995), built by J Composite France and designed by JOHNSTONE.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 29/04/2025
A performance sailboat that truly shines when the wind picks up, the J-80 can reach 11.17 knots in strong winds. It performs admirably upwind, achieving 5.6 knots in 10 knots of wind. Its asymmetric spinnaker is large for its size, enhancing its downwind capabilities. The compact jib complements the mainsail well, allowing for efficient upwind sailing.
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.
