Hey all,

Can anyone provide a link to references regarding reasonable mileage
made good for a given 24 hour period of sailing. Â* I've heard estimates
ranging from 50 to 100 nautical miles per twenty four hour period for
monohulls and 75 to 150 nautical miles per twenty four hour period for
catamarans. Â*This is assuming "delivery" style sailing, no stopping for
pleasure, etc. Â*It also presumes that the winds are relatively
favorable, not beating upwind.

Any opinions, experience or actual data would be greatly appreciated.
