Babar - NOR20
Sailing performance analysis for a X-35 OD from 2006, built by X-Yachts and designed by Niels Jeppesen.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 08/05/2025
A performance sailboat that excels in a range of conditions, Babar reaches 6.3 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind. Its well-balanced sail plan includes a symmetric spinnaker, providing competitive downwind performance with a top speed of 9.9 knots in strong winds. The jib is compact relative to the mainsail, maximizing upwind efficiency. Built for speed, it shows planing potential and is well-powered for its size.
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.
