The tracker says where each boat is. This page asks how she is being sailed: how much speed she makes from the wind she has, on which point of sail she wins or loses, how steady she is, and what the dark costs her.

Speed for the wind
boat speed ÷ model wind speed, legs sailed in 8–25 kt, since the start
Like for like: faster (+) or slower (−) than every other boat in the same 3 kt of wind and 15° of angle, with the ocean current taken off; the plain share of wind speed flatters a boat that has sailed in lighter wind or more of it downwind. A figure needs 20 legs.
Read with care
The wind is Open-Meteo’s model wind at each report position, not measured on board. A boat in a local calm or squall the model misses will look slow or fast for her wind.
Direction is the course made good over a 4-hour leg, not the heading, so “upwind” means the boat made ground within 60° of where the wind came from. It separates upwind work from running well; it cannot see a gybe angle.
Heavier, longer-keeled designs are slower for the same wind. Compare like with like on the Boats page. Everything counts from a boat’s restart, and the start day is left out.

A speed is shown from three legs on a point of sail. Early in the race the samples are small.

Night − day: average leg speed between 20:00 and 06:00 local solar time minus the rest, since the start; it needs six legs of each. Extra: miles sailed along the track over miles made good toward the finish, since the start; blank for a boat that restarted, whose two figures count from different moments. Made good, 7 days: how fast the boat has closed on the finish, against the miles she sailed for it (Extra, 7 days); for a boat with a current position and three days of the week behind her.
