Sailing performance analysis for a Dehler 34 from 2018, built by Dehler Segelyachte and designed by judel/vrolijk&co.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC)
This cruiser-racer is well-balanced and versatile, with a top speed of 9.96 knots in 20 knots of wind. It performs well upwind, capable of reaching 6.26 knots in 10 knots of wind. Downwind performance is more modest without a spinnaker, reaching 5.69 knots in the same conditions. The sail plan is balanced with a compact jib relative to the mainsail, offering reliable performance across different points of sail.
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.
