Vagabond - NOR10076
Sailing performance analysis for a SW YACHTS 45 from 2002, built by Sweden Yachts and designed by Peter Norlin.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 19/05/2025
A comfort cruiser designed with relaxation in mind, this yacht offers a pleasant sailing experience. It reaches 6.8 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind and can achieve 8.1 knots on a reach in 10 knots of wind, making it stable and reliable for leisurely voyages. Its downwind speed of 5.8 knots in 10 knots of wind reflects its focus on comfort over speed, with an asymmetric spinnaker providing modest assistance. The sail plan is balanced, ensuring ease of handling in various 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.
Measured sails
Spinnaker measurements were not supported before this season's certificates. If no spinnaker is shown, that's why.
