How fast did sailboats travel in 17th century?
The same speed that 17th century replica vessels sail today of course!
A square rigged merchant vessel, fully loaded with a mass of barnacles growing on the bottom in 15 knots of wind might make 5 knots on a broad reach (fastest point of sail for them). A lug-rigged vessel some 50 feet long, lightly loaded, and sailing on a reach or beam reach might make 9 knots. If you are speaking of the archetypical Spanish galleon, you could say they made an average of 5 knots speed on their best trade routes, and (the larger ones) could sail at speeds upwards of 10 knots in the best circumstances. The answer is not as simple as the question, by any means.
