Sailing performance analysis for a J/92 from 2001, built by J Composite France and designed by Rod Johnstone.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 15/06/2026
With its performance-oriented design, this boat delivers impressive speeds, reaching 7.2 knots on a beam reach in 10 knots of wind. It showcases potential for planing, hitting 10.43 knots in strong winds of 20 knots. The large asymmetric spinnaker enhances downwind performance, while the compact jib complements the powerful mainsail for upwind efficiency.
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.
