Hmmm... my math says this works out to be about 6.9Km/Hr, or about 3.7 Knots.
About walking speed.

Ideal weather conditions allowed "sun21" to travel up to 107 nautical miles a daythe boat is 14m, or over 42ft, long. A catamaran of that size, equipped with sails, would be capable of moving at speeds up to 240 nautical miles per day.
