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.

Please don't feel ignored if nobody answers you. 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)
