We just got back from returning Kahuna(hull 55 and Yanmar 13 HP) from Sturgeon Bay, WS to Chicago 180 miles non-stop. We had boat speeds from 4.8 to 6.7(motor sailing). The waves were flat to 2 ft, Wind was generally 5 - 10 at 30-40 degrees off the nose, we sailed less then 2 hours, and motor sailed less then 4 hours.
Now the main reason for this note- we motored for 28 hours and used about 16 gallons of fuel - a little less then 2 hours per gallon.
