The High Cost of Cruising
On 2008-06-25 23:24:41 -0400, Wayne.B said:
Even with proper diesel inboard aux, most of the serious cruising sailboats that we see are carrying 40 to 60 gallons of extra fuel on deck. These are boats that actually go someplace of course. OMG! That'd give Xan a conservative 1,400-2,000 mile range under power! The idea of 3-500# of fuel up on deck, though.... I'm always surprised that they don't just add tankage. Doubt there's a boat over about 25' that doesn't have some out of the way place to stick another tank, and it doesn't take much to add 40 gallons. -- Jere Lull Xan-à-Deux -- Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI trips & tips: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
