Belgium to Southampton

[Nautical]

Just a quickie cus I haven't any charts to hand, anyone know the sea miles from the north tip of Belgium (Vlissingen) to Southampton. Supposed to collect a boat there in a couple of weeks and bring back to Hamble, reckon one fuel stop should be ok.

Vlissingen is in Holland but is being dropped off there from Belgium side.

Many thanks

I am running Whitelighter back that way in september. From memory Portsmouth is about 200mn, so I reckon Southampton will be about 215nm - should do it on a tank I would have thought.

As the crow flies. Is this any use?

bringing back a Absolute 39?

A 41 actually, brand spanking new so will have to be a bit gentle with her for the first few hours.

Flushing / Southampton is 207nm if that helps. BTW your deaprture port is in Netherlands not Belgie

A slightly dodgy route plotted with Mapsource comes out at 208nm. Slightly dodgy in that it takes you straight over the rocks at Selsey Bill and I can't figure out how to move waypoints in a route.

About 210nm sounds about right. You could refuel at Brighton.

Thanks guys, range is about 240nm with 20% reserve but might think of a refuel just in case plus 9 hours in one hit is a bit num bum and I am a sissy.

Keep you posted.
