Georgs: Our fuel burn for the total trip was 2.98gals/hr. This included port
hopping in the Med. On the long open water cruise part our fuel burn was
2.65gals/hr. Our Marine trader is a semi-displacement which we modified by
adding 8000 lbs lead in the keel stem to stern. Fully loaded with fuel and water
we displace 56,000 lbs. Regards. Leonard Stern, Indifference
