- Mainship Trawler 40 Expedition
Hello all Ladies and Gentlemen,
First excuse me please about my broken English cause I'm French.
I go here because in France there is no forum about Mainship.
We just have bought "Dakoota" (this is a Mainship Trawler 40 Expedition built
in 2007).
As you know in France Gazoline (Diesel) is very expensive (1,70 euro for 1 liter, note: 1 euro = 1,1608 US $)
and I have some questions about Engine consumption.
Engines model is: Yanmar 6BY260 x2 (There are 2 Engines: 2x260 CV)
CV (Chevaux)=HP (Horse Power)
Now my questions:
1. I suppose cruiser speed is 8 knots (8 nautical miles per 1 hour)
With this speed (8 knots) can you tell me what is the engine consumption?
(Example: 20 liters/hour/engine)
2. But speed (8 knots) is it the best speed for this boat?
3. What is the limit speed of hull?
Thank you very much about your future answers (responses)
Best Regards,
Joel de Binic
