Under ideal conditions, a purpose-built fast clipper ship could maintain 2l Knots and over a 24 Hour period this would amount to about a day"s Run of close to 500Miles. These are exceptional cases with crack crews and handling and ideal weather conditons, runing before the wind, as they say. Around about l850 the major speed records were made under sail . I believe the(Champion of the Seas) was quoted with the 2l Knots over 24 Hours which is real (Bonneville stuff) for sailing ships.
