This edition mentions that typical passage times from New York to the English Channel for a well-found sailing vessel of about 2000 tons was around 25 to 30 days, with ships logging 100-150 miles per day on average. The distance between the English Channel and the Coast of America is roughly 3000 nautical miles.

Hope this helps : )
