A couple of questions.
I have a friend that is sailing solo from Northern Oregon to South
America in a single passage of approx. 70 days. So far, he has completed one third of the journey. I am keeping track of his progress by logging the position that he sends regularly via radio-email. I have a couple of question to ask, for I am not a sailor. 1. I have calculated that he is currently averaging +4.61% extra distance from the theoretical shortest route (using the great circle). How this does compare with what is considered typical on long distances for a sail boat? 2. He is averaging 4 nautical miles per hour. Is this typical for a Hans Christian 43? Thank you very much. -- Rudy --- Beware the man of one book! --- .. |
