Re: Long distance cruising
The Meadowlark, at 36 feet with an 8 foot beam and
weighing 11,000 lbs makes between 5.8 and 6.3 kts with
a diesel fuel consumption of about 1 pint per hour.
This is a completely flat wake. This is with the 10
hp Sabb engine tied to a variable pitch prop. One has
to play with the pitch of the prop and the rpm of the
engine to reach max efficiency.
