From earlier days, outside the Mediterranean it is generally accepted that 100 nm a day is a good average to plan a multi-day passage on a cruising boat.
What would be a reasonable average noon to noon for a trans Mediterranean passage. I have asked skippers here in Greece and I get the answer 50 nm if offshore, but zero to 30 inshore.
What is your experience please? Inside and outside the Mediterranean. The original guess was based on heavy long keeled yachts. The present flat bottomed fin keel designs with light weight must modify this guess somewhat. Thanks.
