polar

Anyone have these? I have gotten into racing pretty seriously over the last few years and I figure it would be nice to have these for my boat. I'd be willing to pay a reasonable fee (less than the US Sailing charge!) for these to help defray your former cost! rolf

:confused: Just getting the hang of sailing an E32-3 and can't seem to find a Polar Diagram for this boat on this site or anywhere else. Must be one somewhere for free. I see a web site for "Sailfish Yacht Analyzer" for $50 which looks interesting but not into a research project at this time...

Does anyone know of polars for the 46? Thanks

During a race recently my crew and I had some disagreement over how deep to sail the boat toward the leeward mark. We were in a non-spinnaker class, flying a 150 up front. Winds were pretty fluky, ranging from less than 5 kts to gusts of over 20 kts, with the average being around 12 to 15. I...

Anyone have information on either of these two items for the 1987 or newer Ericson 34 shallow draft boatl? I've looked everywhere and no can find.

Does anyone have any experience with polar diagrams? I recently read "Winning Races " by John Heyes in which he talked about their use to maximize boat speed. I wonder whether the results justify the cost. Please give your opinion or experience. Our boat is a E35-3 that I want to race more...

I recently finished a book by John Heyes titled "Winning Races" . One of the many things he introduced me to was the polar diagram. Has anyone seen or obtained a copy for our Ericson 35-3's? Our boat is at Ventura, CA. It's a 1986, hull # 240, her name is Seabird. Any information you can...

Does anyone know where to find a polar diagram for the E35-3 or E34? (These are the velocity made good charts for all points of sail) I understand they can be ordered somewhere for a price (probably too high). Anyone know how to reach the designer, Bruce King, who might have it?
