The similarities with planning a motorboat trip are clear. The sail wardrobe must be good and intact. A smooth underwater hull saves speed, control navigation lights, emergency signals and first aid kit are things that need some extra attention. In my opinion, a trip with a sailboat will be different from a trip with a motorboat in the sense that with a motorboat you stick more day trips together and with a sailboat you will cover a long route in stages. With a sailboat you sail day and night and with a motorboat it is nice if the engines are not running 24 hours a day and the fuel capacity does not allow it. Another aspect is the importance of the crew, who have specific skills for a sailboat. skills required. An example of a sailing plan to sail a sailing boat from IJmuiden to Altea, without specific factors such as travel time and crew changes, but for at least a 12 meter yacht and in the summer season.
