ok! how far?

[ccscott49]

How far would you travel or have you traveled in one day by boat, my record is about 189 nm.

in 24 hours? 192nm. But did that for four days.

 

[baily]

helped a friend to take his boat from Grimsby to hailing island in one day also done Brigg on the humber to dover in day a few times.

 

[rbcoomer]

You're not alone...

On my boat... 25nm.... Hayling Bridge to the Nab and back... Give me time, give me time...

+1 About 30nm for us too. Current boat is only 14' however so one step at a time. I think we can carry enough fuel for 50nm so planning a bit further this summer. Channel Islands will have to wait for the 21'

 

[tinkicker0]

Whoo I have been to York and back in the day.

 

[carlton]

83 nm in 6 hours at about 14 knots cruise in my old SD Princess 33 is my PB. (Wells to Ramsgate). Makes me feel rather inadequate...

Tried that several times but the Kings Arms always gets in the way!!!

Seriously though, 110nm. Not much choice around here. Once you poke your bow out the Humber, it's at least 80 mile to anywhere else!

 

[Pinnacle]

Just recently completed a trip from St Maarten to Tenerife. 5 days and I am told, about £500,000 of fuel ( at duty free rates ).

Nice boat - Azura was her name.

 

[Quest]

85nm Ilfracombe to St.Ives then back on the following day, in a 21ft Merry Fisher outboard. Felt like a long way at the time, but doesn't compete with most of the entries here. Needed 2 trips to a garage with Jerry Cans to refill for the journey back - the joys of boating with petrol engines!

 

[MedMilo]

320nm from Portisco (Sardinia) to Cala D'or (Mallorca) last June - took 28hrs, mostly at 10kts with occasional bursts at 20kts. Normal planing range of boat is c300nm - completed this trip with tanks still well over half full! Luckily sea was like glass though, so displacement speed on a planing hull was fine...

 

[hlb]

Only about 130 miles, in one do. I'd have run out of juice if gone much further.

But 600 miles or more was a regular jaunt. Plymouth, then all the CI's, Brittainy and up to the solent, with a bit of a stroll back to Plymouth.

But I never used MF's in flight refueling system. That was always there for, if there was no diesel there, or stupid expensive.

Anyway, as I agreed in the first place, 4 or five hours of 20 odd knots, is quite enough on the fly bridge, it was never meant as an endurance test.

It was supposed to be a holiday.

 

[Beyondhelp]

95Nm in a 16ft Fletcher. Used 117 litres of fuel. Trip time was around 4-5 hours.

How far would you travel or have you traveled in one day by boat, my record is about 189 nm.

In one day? Mmm... having recently made a 54 hours non-stop passage averaging 10kts, I suppose my daily record has to be 240 Nm or so.
But at the end of the day, isn't that just a matter of which boat you have and which sea conditions you must deal with?
IIRC, some years ago Buzzi made it from Venice to Monaco (a 1100+ NM trip!) in just a few minutes less than 24 hours....

How far would you travel or have you traveled in one day by boat, my record is about 189 nm.

In a 21' Lymington to Salcombe. Always carried extra fuel as I was right on the limit +20%. Never wanted to run out of fuel if weather changed and I had to hang out there overnight.
Once went back with no mid trip refuelling. Any further, and would have to do it in hops. Strange thing that many people in small boats don't realise, go round IoW and that is as far as going to France.

Thats what I did to get my 95nm above. Was around the island in the morning and the rest of the day spent messing about, total gps road miles of 110. Was the best boating day I've ever had.

 

[scej]

Longest trip for me in one day was San juan to Provinciales 468 miles took 23.5 hours and a little over 9000 l of fuel (maiora24s)

Longes trip in small boat was pro line 210 Poole to jersey ( got the weather a bit wrong on that one)

Lots of other trips 200 miles plus in a day.

Nice trip was Poole to Rotterdam in predator 60, 265 miles in 9.5 hours inc a splash and dash for 1000 l in Dover. Arneson surface drives 1800 rpm just over 30 knots and F2 the whole way oh and the obligatory rooster

 

[studgies]

Jim and I dida delivery from Cardiff to the Hamble in a day, which was 350ish from memory.

Hi Baily,

Was it a Cornich by chance and who's ugly mug is in centre shot here

Great day too



Single handed furthest I've done in a day is

day 1 - 185 nm , Northney to Lowerstoft refuel,
day 2 - 127 nm lowerstoft to Brigg .

Would have made it in one if RN&SYC had allowed me fuel.

 

[Divemaster1]

Approx 230 NM - 54 10.445’N, 7 53.656’E To 57 59.648’N, 7 25.460’E

In an Apollo 32... Non stop...

 

[gravygraham]

Any mathmeticians out there? What we need here is a formula - nm/loa or something such. I'm sure 26 miles in a canoe racks up more brownie points than 275 in a 53 footer. Or shall I just keep my nose out of it.

 

[PaulGooch]

Done Shotley to the Millenium wheel, Lowestoft to The Wash, Wells Next The Sea to Shotley. All circa 100nm, in our Merry Fisher 805. Did them all non-stop, which is about as far as you'd sensibly want to push the fuel, without dipping into the reserve cans.
