HI,
I have a Beneteau 361 2000 with new Genoa and Vertical Batten Main Sail from Neil Pryde and I am pleased to report that I have seen nice performance improvement. I would like to get the best out of my Beneteau and I am looking for Polar for my 361. I searched the internet but did not find anything. I have contacted Ward Richardson at Beneteau and was told that they only have polar for the First Series.

Can someone tell me please where I can find this information. I don't think I can come up easily with the polar by myself because it is a long process and dependent on many factor.

Thanks for the help,
Georges

Boats raced in Europe need to have polars generated for their IMS/ORC rating certificates. Do a google search with the boat type and the keyword ORC. I did a quick look but am on my phone and it was hard to see.

Ps they look like this

Hi Jackdaw, Thanks for the info, it is the info I am looking for but unfortunately they don't seem to have the data for a Beneteau 361.

If you sign up for free at the ORC website ORC.org, you can search for 361 certificates. There is at least 20 on file. Find one that has the same spinnaker configuration as you, then buy a copy of the full cert for 10 bucks. It contains the polars.
