After 2 years of owning a Jeanneau sun odyssey 32.2 I am going back to the dark side. I've really enjoyed the sailing we have done and the economy factor. I got the bug after sailing holidays in Greece and wanted to have a go, its just the comfort factor we miss and as we have always used our...

Thanks Neale that's very interesting.

What mileage would you expect to get from a twin 200hp diesel engine at 6/8 knots on a 30' boat. consumption
