Dream Catcher - NOR12095
Sailing performance analysis for a Delphia 37 from 2006, built by DELPHIA and designed by AndrzejSkrzat.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC)
A performance sailboat that delivers solid speed across all points of sail. It can achieve 6.35 knots upwind in 10 knots of breeze and 5.96 knots downwind under the same conditions. The boat is equipped with a large genoa and a symmetric spinnaker, which contributes to its fast downwind performance. In fresh winds of 14 knots, it can reach speeds up to 8.21 knots, showcasing its capability in various wind conditions.
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.
