  1. Since your under power 10 knts if there is a head wind of 10 knts and a current of 2 knts your not moving much forward so best plan your trip to run with the wind & current>Marine Trader tawler dosen't carry that much fuel for that trip that long>For the price have it shipped>


  2. The naswer to this question obviously depends on many factors; the distance you will be travelling.  Where are you sailing from?  What is your intended arrival port?  What is the weather predicted.  Trust you will be taking a great circle route?  Anticipated currents? (favorable and unfavorable)  All of these factors will effect your time.

    From NY to London it is about 3343 nautical miles and @ 10 knots this would be, in theory, about 334.3 hours (Distance in nautical miles/speed in knots) = Time.

    334.3 hours / 24 hrs/day = 13.929 days.

    13.929 days = 13 days - 55.74 hours

    13d - 55h - 44.4m

    Please find the link below to give you a better idea.

    Good luck and strap some exta fuel onboard because i don't think the 42ft marine trader has the tankage to hold enough fuel for this trip.
