4x AWS is alleged to be the top achieved/recorded record. AWS is the acronym of "Average Wind Speed".
20-30 knots is not unlikely and 55 knots is possible...
The speed of the sailboat is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken. In this case, the speed of the sailboat is 0.71 m/s (100m / 140s).
Maintain present course and speed.
A sailboat can reach speeds of up to 30 knots (about 34.5 miles per hour) when it is at its maximum speed.
Hi There is not an average speed. It depends on the length and wind direction and speed
Speed up to pass in front of the sailboat
To determine the hull speed of a sailboat, multiply the square root of the length at the water line by 1.34. The answer will be in nautical miles per hour.
That would be the deck.

The average speed of a sailboat during a typical voyage can vary depending on factors such as wind conditions and the size of the boat. However, a common average speed for a sailboat is around 5 to 8 knots (5.75 to 9.2 miles per hour).
The average sailing speed of a typical sailboat is around 5 to 10 knots, which is equivalent to 5.75 to 11.5 miles per hour.
In Virginia, personal watercraft (PWC) operators must slow to a no-wake speed when approaching a sailboat within 50 feet. This regulation is designed to ensure the safety of both the sailboat and the PWC, minimizing the risk of collisions and disturbances. Adhering to this speed limit helps protect the integrity of the sailboat and the safety of its passengers.
