Grandma Ben - NOR15080
Sailing performance analysis for a Scanner 391 (series year 1998), built by Scan Yachts and designed by OLOFSSON.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 03/06/2025
A versatile cruiser-racer, this boat is light for its length and offers balanced performance across various wind conditions. Sailing upwind, it reaches 6.05 knots in 10 knots of wind, showing solid performance though not leading the pack. Downwind, it struggles slightly with a speed of 5.48 knots in the same wind, partly due to its compact jib and an asymmetric spinnaker that doesn't match the power of some competitors. Despite not being a speedster, it’s a reliable choice for those who value a well-rounded sail experience.
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.
