All you need is a day of good reaching conditions where you can average a bit over 8 knots. Not that difficult on a good boat, you just need the right conditions. At the risk of creating consternation, I do not believe that a 200 mile day is a myth, assuming we are talking about a 24 hour day. We did 168 nm in a day and we were only motor sailing in a slow old sailboat. If we'd had any appreciable wind and hadn't had to struggle in the inlet against a lot of current we'd have done it quicker. grandma Rosalie |
