Does anybody know where to find a polar diagram (for different wind speeds) for the J22?
All I can find is a table with target speed in different wind conditions (beating), but no wind angle. |

Polar diagrams are not often used by one-design racers because you just need to look at other boats for reference. You might have better success asking on Scuttlebutt or Sailing Anarchy. Hope this does some good. vic |

Since I have the only J22 in Puerto Rico I normally race PHRF with various different boats, therefore it is not practical to judge VMG against other competitors. That's why a polar diagram would be useful.
Anyway, thanks for the advice |

You can order Polars for most boats from US SAILING, but they're not cheap ($275/$325)
