Question:
I need to know about how fast was fast for a pirate ship in the mid 1700's.
Answers:
Where can I buy a steering console for my 25' inflatable boat?
That would depend upon the type of ship they used. Depending upon the ship, the sails, and wind speed it could vary from 3 knots to 12 knots per hour. There are instances of ships in the 17th - 18th century being several miles offshore and it would take them a month to get to port due to lack of wind, low wind, or basically the wind blowing against them.About 8 knots.
Is a boatwright someone who builds or repairs boats?
The speed of a ship is a product of the waterline length... has to do with hydrodynamics and ignoring the effects of sail or motor.T.w.a.and the t.w.r.a are obsessed with mantaining their control?
The formula, as best I can remember it is, 1.51 times the waterline length times 0.10 so a boat with a waterline of, say, 50 feet, times 1.51=75.5 times 0.10= 7.55 Knots
