Assuming a gym opening date of July 1, 

you need to place your order by March 13, 

which means 110 days in advance; why so long?


Then, 7+40+40+6+7+3+7=110 days; Subtracting the changeable days from 110 days, 110-40-40=30 days.

You can take these 30 days as a base and add the number of productive days and the number of sailing days to get the full number of days estimated.
