NJÅRD - NOR16361
Sailing performance analysis for a Hanse 315 (series year 2023), built by Hanse and designed by JUDEL/VROLIJK.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 14/04/2025
The Hanse 315 is a comfort cruiser that offers balanced sailing with its symmetric spinnaker and sails well in various conditions. It achieves 5.7 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind, showing its capability to handle moderate breezes with ease. On a reach, it can reach 6.9 knots in 10 knots of wind, providing a smooth and steady ride. The sail plan is well-proportioned, with a jib that complements the mainsail for an overall harmonious setup.
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.
