Was'nt there a wave piercing thing that went around Britain non-stop a few years ago that ha amazing fuel consumption for the size of thevessel ?

Then I agree with Timtap - some kind of wave-piercing Very Slender Vessel like Mr & Mrs Reddyhof's boat, only smaller.

Even with a narrow beam of 9'5" and 4 venturi chines, it's still hard to believe she'd do 5mpg.... Terrific if she does!
