==Fishing boat (Fabra’s)== ====Rowing==== {| class="wikitable" ! Pace/effort !! Speed (knots) !! style="width: 110px;" | Speed<br>(mph/kph) !! Notes |- | Sustained/Cruising || 2-3 knots || 2.3-3.5 mph<br>(3.7-5.6 km/h) || This is the speed the fishermen could maintain for several hours on calm water without exhausting themselves. This is the best average to use for travel time |- | Max Effort/Sprint || 3.5-4 knots || 4.0-4.6 mph<br>(6.5-7.4 km/h) || Possible for short bursts (5-10 minutes) when escaping danger, racing to a known fishing spot, or desperately manoeuvring in an emergency. They would be exhausted afterwards. |- | Against Wind/Chop || 1 knot or less || 1.1 mph or less<br>(2 km/h or less) || Any significant headwind or strong current would drop the rowing speed dramatically. Sometimes, simply holding position is the best they can do. |} ====Sailing==== {| class="wikitable" ! Condition !! Speed (knots) !! style="width: 110px;" | Speed<br>(mph/kph) !! Notes |- | Ideal Conditions (Reaching) || 4-6 knots || 4.6-6.9 mph (7.4-11 km/h) || A moderate breeze (Force 3-4 on the Beaufort Scale) coming from the side. This is the fastest, most comfortable, and most efficient point of sail for a boat of this type. |- | Favourable (Downwind) || 3-5 knots || 3.5-5.8 mph (5.5-9.2 km/h) || A wind pushing the boat directly from behind. The boat is heavy and can't outrun the waves, limiting the top speed. |- | Light Wind || 1-2 knots || 1.1-2.3 mph (2-3.7 km/h) || When the wind is light, the sail can still make slow, steady progress, but the crew will likely start rowing to supplement the speed. |- | Upwind (Tacking) || 1-3 knots (SMG) || 1.1-3.5 mph (2-5.6 km/h) || A lug-rigged boat is not great at sailing directly against the wind. It must tack to make slow progress into a headwind. A top speed of 3 knots is its actual forward progress toward the destination, even if the boat is moving 4-5 knots through the water. |- | Maximum Burst || 7-8 knots || 8-9.2 mph (13-15 km/h) || Possible for brief periods when surfing down a large wave in a strong gale, but the boat would be hard to control and the crew would be highly stressed. |} [[Category:Fiction reference]]
