Answer 1
It would take approx 9.79 days if one was traveling in a galley at 11.5 knots Cyprus is approximately 1227 nautical miles from Venice , 11.5 knots is about 6 miles an hour one nautical mile = 1.15 mile we take 1227 x 1.15 = 1411 / 6, 235 hours 235 / 24 = 9.79 days of constant sailing assuming good weather.
Answer 2
I respectfully disagree with the foregoing. Not with the math but with the concept of being able to get a medieval or Renaissance galley to move that fast.
There are 3 good modern examples based on professionally-constructed replica vessels.
The replica Trireme Olympias [, launched 1985, now a museum ship of the Greek Navy, in permanent drydock] , and the two biggest viking longship replicas,-the Sea Stallion and the Drakkar Harald Fairhair.
Greek Navy official records during the Sea Trials of "Olympias" record a maximum speed under oars of just over 9 knots - and the trained Greek Navy crew could only maintain that for about 15 minutes at a time.
The two viking longship replicas have only been able to manage about 6 knots maximum under oars for similarly short periods. Under sail, however both longships have proven significantly faster than the trireme, having reached 18knots running downwind under favourable conditions.
Thus I suggest that a more-reasonable voyage speed between Venice and Cyprus would be an average of 6 knots at the best.
A wooden sailing boat in welsh is called 'cwch pren'.
No. Venice was built on wooden pilings in a lagoon.
Wooden sailing vessels.
That would be a 'junk'.
Wooden sailing ships.
That would be the famous Chinese junk.
That type of ship is called a "Junk".
The bilge.
A sailing dinghy is made of glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GRP). Basically, plastic.
The most common name for a Chinese wooden sailing ship that I can think of is the Junk. High bow and stern, various rigging of sails, more of a coaster than a blue water vessel.
They have foundations, usually held up by wooden piles.
Wooden sailboats offer several advantages for recreational sailing compared to other types of boats. They are known for their classic and aesthetic appeal, providing a traditional sailing experience.
