Sailing performance analysis for a X-362 SPORT from 2003, built by X-Yachts and designed by Niels Jeppesen.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 30/04/2026
The X-362 SPORT is a performance sailboat that shines upwind, reaching 6.3 knots in 10 knots of wind. It's well-powered for its size, making it a strong contender on the racecourse. While it can hit a top speed of 9.3 knots in strong winds, it tends to struggle downwind despite its large symmetric spinnaker. The balanced sail plan features a jib that's well proportioned to the mainsail, giving it versatility across 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.
