I believe it is sailboats though how big can they get? I would love to visit Ireland from St. John’s then bicycle and ride the train around the emerald island.

    Unless you’re planning a small, well-trained crew, endurance sail that’ll take a few weeks, you’re probably talking one of those huge cruiseliners (that still take between one and two weeks).

    Those things burn so much fuel it’s ridiculous. And it’s heavy oil, so more pollution than cars or planes.

    I’m not sure on my figures here so definitely double check, but last I read about it, a transatlantic cruise would burn 3-4 times the amount of fuel as the equivalent passenger flights, whilst taking 20x the time
