Flat Earth, a 2003 Nordhavn 50, completed the passage from Long Beach
to the Waikiki Yacht Club yesterday at 1700 HST, June 26.
Total distance 2290 NM
Time of transit: 14 days, 7 hours and thirty minutes
Fuel consumed: 1055 gallons with 385 gallons remaining on arrival
(generator consumption, about 3 hours per day, included)
Miles per gallon: about 2.16
Average speed over the ground for the trip: 6.7 kts
For those who prefer to see the crucial passage data the
old-fashioned way, I believe that makes for a fuel burn of 3.1
gallons per hour.
