Baba Yaga - NOR12030
Sailing performance analysis for a Elan 37 dyp kjøl from 2007, built by Elan Marine and designed by HUMPHREYSROB.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 22/06/2026
This cruiser-racer delivers solid performance across a range of conditions. It achieves a notable 7.45 knots on a reach in 10 knots of wind, showcasing its balanced sail plan. While it reaches 6.3 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind, the boat is less impressive downwind, reaching 5.41 knots due in part to its symmetric spinnaker. The jib and mainsail are well-proportioned, enabling versatile sailing capabilities.
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.
