5 knots per hour

If a sailboat leaves Miami at 5 knots per hour, how fast will it be going
when it reaches Panama?
Depends on the wind of course.... anywhere from 1 knot to the hull speed.

Don, we're not limited by hull speed in this case. Why not? Because a hull
speed limitation would take the fun out of the equation.
