The distance traveled in a particular time on a sailboat is dependent on four primary factors, 1) the length of boat's waterline, 2) the strength of the wind, 3) the angle of the wind relative to the line of intended travel and 4) ocean currents. 1) The longer the waterline, the faster a displacement vessel can go. Planing boats are not limited by waterline as they actually rise above the water. A typical 32' to 42' long sailboat has a maximum hull speed of roughly 6 to 7 knots (nautical miles per hour). 2) If the wind is less than 10 knots, you won't be doing six knots. No wind, no speed. 3) Going across the wind is the fastest point of sail. Going directly into the wind (by means of tacking; like climbing a mountain using switchbacks) is the slowest as you will not be going directly to your intended goal. Typically, beating to windward will get you about 35 degrees to 45 degrees off from your direct line. 4) Currents can assist you (the Gulf Stream can hit six knots) or can slow you down. Check the charts in the area you want to transit. All that being said, you might expect to hit 100 miles or a bit more in a day, all things being average.
It takes (58)/(your speed in knots) hours.
Well, a knot is 1 nautical mile per hour.
How long would it take to sail from Baltimore to florida
13 and a half days since its 6,500 nautical miles
20 hours ! 1 knot is 1 nautical mile per hour.
The knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. Therefore moving at 3 knots it would take 350/3 = 116.6666666666667 hours to go 350 nautical miles.
One knot is equal to 1 nautical mile per hour. So for 535 nautical miles at 6 knots, 535 nautical miles/6 knots=535 nautical miles/6 nautical miles per hour=535/6 hours which is about 89.2 hours (89 hours and 10 minutes).
The distance is 6665 nautical miles. 27.8 days at sea, speed of 10 knots
The distance between the above places is approximately equal to 7570 nautical miles. To convert miles to nautical miles, multiply the miles by 0.86. This is point to point straight distance. The actual distance will change according to the route.
The distance is 8550 Nautical Miles from Sidney to Eilat which is around 20 days in 20 knots or 37 Km/h
Assuming a speed of 20 knots (may be a bit fast depending on the kind of ship) it would take 11.7 days.
10 knot wind is equal to 11.5 miles per hour & Honolulu, Hawaii is 2803 Miles nautical miles from Seattle, Washington. It would take about 240 hours, or about 10 days.
