I went researching pre-steamer Atlantic crossing times for a project a few years ago. Before steam, a sailing passage averaged 10-12 weeks. However the min/max bars were huge: a badly becalmed crossing might stretch to six months (with a high risk of malnutrition en route, living off ship's biscuit and pickled meat), while the fastest sail crossing was around 12 days (a fast clipper with a very favourable wind). 2 months was the norm, and the hull loss rate meant it wasn't for the faint of heart: IIRC about 5% of ships never made it to port.
