It generally takes about three days to sail 750 miles. Of course, there are many factors that can cause a variance in that time frame; such as the weather and the conditions of the water.
The best shape of a sail depends on the sailing conditions and intended use. Generally, a curved, full sail shape is ideal for maximizing lift and power in lighter winds, while a flatter sail shape is better for stronger winds to reduce heeling and maintain control. Ultimately, the optimal sail shape balances aerodynamic performance with the specific requirements of the sailing environment.
