I learned to sail in a 7-foot long sailboat that regularly achieved 20 knots.

Yes


How fast can a three masted war ship go?

It depends :-) In good conditions you could reasonably expect 10 knots, but no more than 15 knots. For sail boats top speed is related to the length of the boat. The longer the boat the faster it can go (ignoring factors such as total weight and sail area) before it starts to plane (front half lifted out of water which does not work in large boats unlike a small dingy or powerboat which can plane with no problems).


What is the average speed if thev boat travels 15 min?

The average speed is(4 x the number of nautical miles the boat traveled in that time) knots.


How long for a boat traveling at 15 knots to go 95 nautical miles?

95 [M]/15 [kts] = 95 [M]/15 [M/h] = 6.33 [h].

How many knots is 15hp?

Doesn't work like that. 15 hp is the power of the motor, but the speed you get from 15 hp would depend on how hard it is to push the boat through the water. 15 hp on a canoe would be scary fast while 15 hp on a barge won't do a thing.


how big is an average rc yacht?

The average RC yacht starts out around 15 inches. Some very large models can get over three feet in length, however. Typically the bigger the boat, the bigger the sail on the yacht.


A sail boat has a mast that holds a triangular sail. The sail has a base of twelve meters and a height of nine meters. The cost of the sail is 15 per square meter.What will it cost to make the sail?

Because your right triangle is half of a rectangle, you would multiply one measurement by the other and then divide that by two. Then multiply that by 15 per square meter. Unfortunately, this will UNDER estimate your cost, as the triangular sail's hypotenuse is NOT a straight line. But it'll get you 'in the ballpark'.


What is the speed of a typical 40 foot boat?

The speed of a typical 40-foot boat can vary widely depending on its design, type, and purpose. Generally, a cruising motor yacht of this size may travel at speeds between 15 to 25 knots (approximately 17 to 29 mph). Sailboats of the same length typically average around 5 to 10 knots under sail, though they can reach higher speeds in favorable conditions. Ultimately, the specific speed will depend on factors like engine power, hull design, and weather conditions.


How fast did sailboats travel in 17th century?

The same speed that 17th century replica vessels sail today of course! A square rigged merchant vessel, fully loaded with a mass of barnacles growing on the bottom in 15 knots of wind might make 5 knots on a broad reach (fastest point of sail for them). A lug-rigged vessel some 50 feet long, lightly loaded, and sailing on a reach or beam reach might make 9 knots. If you are speaking of the archetypical Spanish galleon, you could say they made an average of 5 knots speed on their best trade routes, and (the larger ones) could sail at speeds upwards of 10 knots in the best circumstances. The answer is not as simple as the question, by any means.


How fast are sail boats MPH?

Sailboats can vary significantly in speed depending on their design, size, and wind conditions. On average, cruising sailboats typically sail at speeds between 4 to 8 knots, which translates to approximately 4.6 to 9.2 miles per hour (MPH). Racing sailboats, however, can reach speeds of 15 knots (about 17.3 MPH) or more in optimal conditions. The fastest recorded sailboats can exceed 30 knots (34.5 MPH) under ideal circumstances.
