TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums British Virgin Islands Sailing Times

What is the typical sailing time for a 50 ft cat from Saba Rock to Anegada in December and the time from Anegada back to Sandy Cay? Not fast, but a normal time.

Once you clear Mosquito Rock just outside North Sound it should be under 2 hours to Anegada if you have decent wind.

Sandy Cay should be 3.5 - 4 hours if you have a normal east winds.

On top of the above reasonable estimates, consider the time to get off the mooring , raise and lower sails, motor up the channel into anegada.

1. Measure distance on chart
2. Pick your SOG which will vary with wind speed and how much sail you have out.
3. Divide #1 by #2

I made it in 1:47 in a monohull from Mosquito rock

...and smoked a couple cats in that race too! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
