[QUOTE="rln, post: 3080397, member: 2843"] [SBLOCK=XP]Aargh, 47 xp till next level!

The SRD also has the average travelling speed for a keelboat at 10 miles per day, assuming 8 hours of travel; I'd assume that when sailing on open seas you're going around the clock, so that'd be 30 miles per day, ie about the same as most horses. Since this one is smaller (but of good quality), I just assumed the value is the same, but it takes less cargo, and perhaps moves a bit faster (2 miles per hour or 16 miles per 8 hour period or 48 miles for a full day of sailing).
