30 knots? The sailboat is not a transportation, it is a style of living. If you average 5 to 6 knots on a fair day you should feel content. As a friend of mine used to say - "A motorboat owner gets to wherever he wants fast. A sailboat owner is already there..." Enjoy...

Vyg wrote: The new lady is, actually, on a faster side than smaller Island Packets. We hit 8 knots at about 13 to 14 knots of wind. Anything below 5 knots and you would need a dedicated light air sail. In between - your speed will vary depending on point of sail. I still would not be planning any passage counting on average speed over 6 knots, though. Hayden is right on the money here (as usually). Better safe then sorry...
