Performance
The ODC48 was specifically designed for high nautical mile days, featuring a light aluminum hull and a powerful sail plan. When sailing upwind, this vessel is able to point high with minimal leeway, thanks to its deep daggerboards. During reaching conditions, the ODC48 is capable of blasting along at impressive speeds ranging between 8 and 14 knots.
Velocity Performance Predictions (VPPs), also known as polars, are generated through advanced computer modeling at base boat weight and assume the vessel is in a flat sea state, with trimmed sails and a clean bottom. However, it is important to note that polars do not guarantee a specific performance as the vessel’s performance in real-world conditions can vary greatly due to factors such as sea state, hull condition, payload, and the skill of the helmsman.
