I have a Rival 38, and use the rule of thumb of 100 miles/day when planning; it invariably works out like that... certainly on passages from/to UK from Gibraltar and down the Med. On my transatlantic is was a bit more 2700 miles in 23 days. Aubrey. At 16:41 10/07/01, you wrote: >My poor wording for the question.
