Movement

In water

A ship can move at a maximum speed in miles per hour equal to the highest unexpanded spell slot provided by the helmsman.

In Atmosphere

A ship can fly at a maximum speed in miles per hour equal to the highest unexpanded spell slot x10 provided by the helmsman.

Taking Off and Landing When taking off from a planet or moon, once the helmsman sits at the spelljammer helm, it takes 1 minute for the helmsman to attune to the helm.

C	20 minutes
D	30 minutes
E	40 minutes
F	1 hour
G	2 hours

A storm or gale quadruple the time required, and the ship has disadvantage on Dexterity checks.

In a hurricane, a ship cannot takeoff or land.
