Chartwell
Sounds impressive, but fuss-free, just as Robert Beebe suggested it
should be. Well done! May I ask what kind of boat Chartwell is?

Hi Georgs,
Chartwell is in Richard's Bay, SA. We had, overall, a good voyage &
covered the 5000 NM in 31 days including 2 stops for 3 days each in
Addu, Southern Maidives and Mayotte, Comoros Islands. Experienced a
wide belt of counter current which took us several days to cross and
had a bit of a tossing the last 2 days when the Wind blew SW against
the Mozambique Current ( which flows to the SW). Something similar
to
what you can get crossing the Gulf Stream but there's no place to
get
in, out of it. We averaged 7.7 knots @ 1200 RPM and burned 6 gph
with
one 21 kw generator running 24-7 plus the 12 kw hydraulic cruising
generator which runs off the Cummins main engine. This is with the
paravanes streamed most of the time. They are fuel-burners, for
sure,
but cut the roll down considerably. We'll be here for a month or so
before proceeding on to Cape Town.

From web site below:
"Boat - "Chartwell" - 55 Trawler 1978
OWNER - Larry Briggs
AREA OF BOATING - Presently in Asia
E-Mail Larry Chartwell is my second Cheoy Lee; the first was built of teak
in 1959 and I circumnavigated in her 1976-1979. Chartwell took me around the
World in the years 1998 - 2003 and then I departed Ft. Lauderdale in
December 2003 and cruised across the Pacific to Malaysia; I will stay in
S.E. Asia until Feb. 2006 and then go West via Africa. Basically stock boat
(built with a single Cummins 855M2); I changed main engine and generators to
dry stack, added electrically operated flopper-stoppers, etc. A great boat."
I wonder what electrically operated flopper-stoppers are?
