what engine do you have ? It should be possible to estimate how many hours running that would give you in theory.

i normley biy in 285,leters of diesel as it gets cheeper if u biy more

one of my yacht has a yanmar 1gm10 10,hp and that did drink the deisel

and now i got the new yacht and and thats has a 72 yer old sabb deisel 10,hp
and that ues,is 10,leter evrey 4 to 5 howes

and im uesing the boats all most 12monts a year

hours of engine runing just a bout all the time im on the boat gowing places
thats a lot of hours in 1 summer

a fag packet calculation gives you 110 hours engine use for 285 l of fuel.

Do you have a working hours meter ?


The only way to reduce your fuel costs is to use the engine less, or install a more economical one.

Adam mate, do you use your sails? Last year I did 2400nm in my boat, which is 33ft and has a 50hp engine. The total fuel bill was £118. I pay 60/40 so it was about 100ltrs. So sailing is the answer.
