Sailing performance analysis for a Hanse 315 from 2005, built by Hanse Yachtbau and designed by JUDEL FRIEDRICH /.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC)
This cruiser-racer is well-suited for sailors seeking both comfort and performance. It reaches 7.16 knots on a reach in 10 knots of wind, and handles upwind with a beat speed of 5.97 knots in the same conditions. The balanced sail plan includes a compact jib relative to its mainsail and an asymmetric spinnaker, providing versatility across different points of sail. At 4304 kg, it's heavy for its length, which contributes to a stable sailing experience.
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.
