|---|---|
| Sailboat, conservative (5 kn) | 64d 1h |
| Sailboat, average (6 kn) | 53d 9h |
| Displacement trawler (8 kn) | 40d 1h |
| Fast trawler (10 kn) | 32d 1h |
| Planing motor yacht (15 kn) | 21d 8h |
| Fast motor yacht (20 kn) | 16d 0h |
Planning estimate, not navigation
This distance is computed over the open Eurostat shipping-lane network. It is a realistic passage length for planning, but your sailed distance will differ with weather routing, currents, draft, and the exact berths you leave from and arrive at. Always verify against official charts.
