Default Rough estimates of miles per day sailing...

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


How much experience do you have with the boat? What is your typical
"off the wind" speed? Is your crew good enough to sail it well 24
hours a day?

There are way to many variables to give you an accurate estimate.
Your range of 75 to 150 NM per day sounds like it should be in the
ball park but in the end it will all depend on conditions.

I have done 200 mile days in a monohull but that is the exception not
the rule, and that was in a fully crewed and equipped 50 ft racing
sloop.
