I certainly wouldn't purchase another boat without considering all options, including defecting to rag boating. I wouldn't want to discourage anybody from considering sail, but for the most part it's not really any cheaper unless you are going a long way. That's one area that diesel inboards shine, fuel efficiency per ton/mph. Planing is still a very inefficient to carry loads though. Note- there are some boats with fuel consumptions that are flat at high speeds, or even drop a little ie- they get better MPG near WOT than at "cruise" speeds. But they get better mileage yet at slow displacement speeds. Forgot to add, all the boats that have this 'best mileage at higher speed' characteristic are all *light* and beamy. A deep-vee hull is very rarely (if ever... I'm tempted to say never) going to achieve this. DSK |

Personally I'll take the deep-V thank you. |

It's been around for two decades. But it is tons better today than that handmixed stuff from back then. |
