Performance and fuel consumption She is fitted with a Volvo D4 260 through a DPH drive and Duo Props Which gives us a WOT speed of 31knots and cruising speed of about 18-20knots with an acceptable fuel consumption To get the same performance via a shaft would need 400plus Horsepower. and therefore higher fuel consumption. The price of fuel is 150% dearer now than when she was launched, so I am glad we went that way. My sons and I are all Marine Engineers, so we do our own maintenance. This too was an important factor in the decision making process.

Great set of images Charlie, my god that was a lot of work to build up the boat from a shell. Great job. You look so young!!!
