3,590 nautical miles (4,131 miles, 6,649 kilometres)
The direct route for this transatlantic passage would see the fleet passing both Bermuda and the Azores on the way to the European mainland. However predominantly light winds off Bermuda and later the effects of the Azores High weather system will likely force the navigators to choose a less direct route.
Leaving Miami, there is an opportunity to hitch a lift on the warm water currents of the Gulf Stream, which sweep around the western US coastline and out across the Atlantic. The tricky decision on when to make the break out of the Gulf Stream to head directly for the finish in Lisbon could well be the defining point of the leg, and one which will no doubt keep the navigators agonising throughout the crossing.
