Hi all

As you probably know, there is a group of SOLers about to campaign a Moody 38s for this year's Fastnet race. Read here about the SOL Fastnet Campaign.

SOL doesn't have a polar for a Moody 38s and Jubilant's skipper, ybw-mjm has said this on Facebook:

QUOTE
There is a Beneteau Ocean 390 polar that is easy to find on the web and looks similar to what we could obtain.. Perhaps that could be used for Sol for now.. or another easy to find one is a Moody 41 classic. That could be used with perhaps a 10% speed reduction overall.
UNQUOTE

Can anyone provide a polar for either of these OR, if not, can someone suggest which of the boats already in the SOL Boathouse will give a fair approximation of performance?

Jubilant's IRC is .926. Closest SOL boat would appear to be J/30 at .925. until we get some more data...

I think standard J/30 has a symmetric. Jubilant has a big Assy and a small Symmetric. suspect J/30 may be better hard up/down wind and Jubilant may be better a bit freer

JuJu - thank you very much for posting that. Obviously if we get the proper polar then we will use that but, otherwise, we now are ready to race!

OK... let's hope 76T or someone can help with this.

ybw_mjm - I have the Beneteau polar pdf downloaded from Facebook and am attaching it here.

yes, we just worked that out. IRC is 0.915 so a little bit slower but probably a better match than the J30 in terms of shape.

Two options based mostly on the Oceanis 390 (I had several to choose from - this one is a very close match on handicap to Jubilant's .925 IRC)

The curves under 20 kts should be the same... guesswork above: option A is with Spin while B is sailing more conservatively under main and jib only.

Input welcome!

Thanks 76! My gut feeling is that the B may reflect more how we will sail for the first couple of races - conservatively until we get used to the boat and each other. By the way, we have a closed Facebook group where I have posted these and pictures from Polar Explorer. If you are on FB, I could add you to that group

76T - you truly are SOL's Polar Guru and superstar. Thank you very much for making the time to prepare the polars.

So people, please decide which one should be readied to be used in SOL!
