Sailing performance analysis for a IMX 40 from 2000, built by X-Yachts and designed by NielsJeppesen.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC)
A pure racer that delivers exhilarating performance, especially downwind where it tops out at 11.6 knots in 20 knots of wind. Upwind, it maintains a strong pace at 6.8 knots in 10 knots of breeze. The boat's sail plan is well-balanced, featuring a symmetric spinnaker and a jib that complements the mainsail effectively, ensuring it performs well across a range of 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.
