Hurramegrundt - NOR714
Sailing performance analysis for a Express from 1981, built by Albin Marin and designed by Norlin.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 04/05/2026
This comfort cruiser offers a balanced sailing experience and is built for leisurely journeys rather than racing. Expect a speed of 5.25 knots upwind in 10 knots of wind, while reaching provides a better pace at 6.33 knots in the same conditions. Downwind performance is limited to 4.81 knots in 10 knots of wind, but the symmetric spinnaker adds some downwind versatility. The sail plan is well-balanced with neither the jib nor the mainsail overshadowing the other.
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.
