Siriuss - FIN10768
Sailing performance analysis for a Hanse 400e from 2006, built by Hanse Yachts and designed by Judel&Vrolik.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC)
This cruiser-racer excels with a balanced sail plan and a large symmetric spinnaker, offering versatility across various conditions. Notably strong upwind, it achieves 6.8 knots in 10 knots of wind, while also demonstrating impressive downwind capabilities at 6.3 knots in the same conditions. The boat is quick for its size, reaching speeds of 10.3 knots in 20 knots of wind.
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.
