High water pressure is a concern for every homeowner. Here is a picture of a pressure gauge, which like its name, measures the pressure of the water coming into your house. We once bought a house that the pressure from the utility company was 110 pounds per square inch (PSI) at the hose bib (another name for it is outside faucet).
Sailing Yacht. Roughly 5,000 sailors cross the Atlantic Ocean by yacht each year in the winter months, with the voyage taking around three weeks. However, the record from Ambrose Lighthouse, New York, to the Lizard, UK, stands at a staggering three days 15 hours. Even if sailors cross as part of a fleet, participating in events such as the World Cruising Club's Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, they must be experienced and knowledgeable.
It really depends on the size of the boat, as well as start/stop locations. It took Columbus three months sailing from Spain, and it was not unusual for sailing vessels like tâ¦he Mayflower to take four or five months. It may take 30 - 45 days in a contemporary sloop-rigged sailboat. There are annual yacht races from the Canary Islands to St. Lucia in the Caribbean, and an excellent time is 20 to 25 days with good winds and weather. *The record eastbound by a special high-speed sailboat is 3 days, 15.43 hours, set in 2009.
