Does anyone have polars for an 83 Hunter 31? I am heading for an offshore race next week and it's looking like it will be upwind.

I'm betting that they have never been produced for your boat. But that's OK.

Polars are MUCH more useful downwind, with a spinnaker. Upwind, most boats react the same. Unless the breeze is very light, trim for close hauled and steer to your telltails. You will not be more then 2 degrees off your polars, better than most instruments can rate.

Downwind a much bigger deal and handy to have, but only if you are using an symmetrical spinnaker.

No polars available for any Hunter that I know about. This subject has been asked too many times to remember.
