Pepper - NOR5186
Sailing performance analysis for a CAYENNE INT from 1982, built by Comfortbåtar Marin and designed by Håkan Södergren.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC)
A well-balanced cruiser-racer that reaches speeds of 7.7 knots on a reach in 10 knots of wind. While it isn't the fastest upwind, achieving 6.3 knots in the same conditions, it maintains respectable performance downwind with a modest symmetric spinnaker. The boat is modestly canvassed for its size, with a compact jib relative to the mainsail, making it versatile across different sailing 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.
