147 days 3 hours and 53 minutes

According to the PredictWind Weather Routing tool, it would take a mere 15months to complete the grueling 43,000 nm around the world yacht race. You'd sail in tranquil sunny 2knot conditions, and have to compete with 40knot storms with waves literally breaking over your boat!

You can plot any trip on the PredictWind weather routing tool and it will show you the fastest way to sail through the forecasted wind. Just choose your boat, then drag and drop the you start, finish and waypoints on the map and let the tool do the rest.
