The distance from Liverpool to Gibraltar is approximately 1,300 nautical miles. At a speed of 10 knots, it would take around 130 hours, or about 5.4 days, to complete the journey, assuming consistent speed and favorable sailing conditions without significant delays.
I learned to sail in a 7-foot long sailboat that regularly achieved 20 knots.
That all depends on the type of boat that you are using.
4.7 days at 19.5 knots
It takes a bit over 3 hours to sail 19 miles at 6 knots
It takes (58)/(your speed in knots) hours.
To calculate the time it takes to sail 1 kilometer at a speed of 20 knots, first convert knots to kilometers per hour. Since 1 knot is approximately 1.852 kilometers per hour, 20 knots is about 37.04 kilometers per hour. To find the time, use the formula: time = distance/speed. Thus, it will take about 1.62 minutes to sail 1 kilometer at 20 knots.
The Strait of Gibraltar (36 miles long)
about 7 days in a favorable wind, since the ship would sail at 4-6 knots
The time it takes to sail a yacht from Plymouth, UK, to Gibraltar can vary significantly based on factors such as weather conditions, the specific route taken, and the yacht's speed. Typically, the distance is around 1,200 nautical miles, which could take approximately 10 to 14 days of continuous sailing at an average speed of 5 to 7 knots. However, many sailors may take longer to allow for rest, weather delays, and stops along the way.
This depends on the speed of the vessel over the distance. For instance if assume the vessels speed is 5 knots ( 5 nautical miles an hour) Apply the formula Speed=Distance/Time, With a bit of rearranging Time=Distance/Speed, Therefore it would take 35 hours to sail 175 miles at 5 knots.
The distance is 6665 nautical miles. 27.8 days at sea, speed of 10 knots
Well, a knot is 1 nautical mile per hour.
