Oda - NOR7334
Sailing performance analysis for a SW YACHTS 41 CR from 1984, built by Sweden Yachts and designed by PeterNorlin.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC)
This cruiser-racer delivers a balanced performance with a top speed of 9.48 knots in 20 knots of wind. It reaches 6.51 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind, making it a solid choice for versatile sailing conditions. Downwind, it carries a symmetric spinnaker, enhancing its reach with a speed of 7.65 knots in 14 knots of wind. The large genoa relative to the mainsail helps in maximizing upwind performance.
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.
