Nutsy' trolling about how much he sails. Is there some kind of standard?
Is there a certain time? Frequency? Distance?

Does it make a difference where you sail?

No, Thom and that was my point. Only Donal is busy judging boat build
quality
by distance sailed.

Distance sailed is a very poor way to measure a boat, or its skipper, or its
crew.
I have sailed for weeks... hundreds of miles at a stretch..95% of the time
on autohelm..... in conditions which would not be a problem for a virtual
novice skipper and crew... would not stress even a very old and ill
maintained yacht.
biggest problem can be staying awake!


But to have sailed only two miles... in appalling conditions ... in a narrow
channel crowded with moored boats swinging in all directions (due to wind
over tide)...... ................
