It will if the bottoms's clean, engine in good shape, and you know how to
drive.

weather--but still logged around 400 miles, mostly under power. The CWB
would have racked up a $250 diesel bill with the same distance at 8 kts.
Well, that's part of the problem. Going 8 knots is wasteful. At 7 knots
the fuel burn is about half, at 6 1/2 it's less than a quarter.
Ella can go at 8 knots with nothing more than a fair breeze.
