The typical sailing time from Oregon to Hawaii is about 18 to 30 days, depending on several factors such as the boat's speed, weather conditions, and crew experience.
- The distance is roughly 2,100 nautical miles, and an average sailboat travels about 5 knots, covering around 120 miles per day, which translates to about 18 days for the trip under good conditions
- Some sailors report the journey taking closer to 30 days, which may account for variable wind and sea conditions or slower boats
- For example, a recent solo sailor documented being on Day 9 of the journey, indicating a multi-week trip is typical
In summary, you can expect the sail from Oregon to Hawaii to take approximately 2 to 4 weeks, with 18 days being a reasonable estimate for a well-prepared crew and boat in favorable conditions.
