The question is why?

6 weeks vs 4 to 8 weeks.

It is strange writing.

How about, the voyage is expected to be about the same.....

I guess 6weeks is the max speed vs 4 weeks.

“6 weeks vs 4 to 8 weeks.”

20 days = 2 weeks, 6 days
40 days = 5 weeks, 2 days

So sails would take anywhere from “twice as long” to “just longer than” a 100%-fuel-powered trip.

That “ton and a half” fuel savings is really gonna pay for itself.
