dicky Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 blimey 27kn. you'll be in alderney in a little over 2 hours. how much fuel you burning at those speeds? Quote
Rob Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 ,consumption and speed far in excess than calculated Consumption in a good way I assume Alan!? Be good to see how she flies in a good old chop! Rob Quote
Adam F Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 Thats some impressive figures. Like others I'd be intrested to hear how she runs and what she burns once she's loaded up with kit and anglers in a reasonable sea (ie how we run most of the time) if its half as good as those figures above youve still got a super machine.
