Perle - NOR8707
Sailing performance analysis for a ARCONA 355 S from 1988, built by Boo Marin AB and designed by .
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC)
This vessel is a true racer, with a light build and well-powered rig for its size. It reaches an impressive 7.5 knots on a reach in 10 knots of wind and 6.3 knots upwind in the same conditions. Downwind performance is solid with a symmetric spinnaker, although the spinnaker is modest compared to similarly sized racers. The sail plan is balanced, with a jib that's compact relative to the mainsail, making it quick and responsive.
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.
