Expresso Martini - NOR1007
Sailing performance analysis for a EXPRESS from 1981, built by Albin Marin AB and designed by Peter Norlin.
Data provided by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) · Certificate issued 14/08/2025
This comfort cruiser offers a balanced sail plan, making it a reliable choice for leisurely sailing. It reaches a top speed of 6.99 knots in 14 knots of wind, showing potential to plane in stronger conditions. Upwind performance is steady at 5.26 knots in 10 knots of wind, but it struggles downwind despite carrying a symmetric spinnaker. The boat's jib is well-proportioned to the mainsail, supporting its all-around comfort and ease of handling.
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.
