This should be economical to run!

I saw this at the weekend in St Peter Port, I think it is an Azimut Verve 47' with Quadruple Mercury Racing 450 hp, so 1,800 horses, 17,300 kg and a a 2340 litre petrol tank. Aparently it tops out about 50
Knots, so France in just over 40 minutes.

Very nice I've always like the Verve and it got even better when they made it with outboards a couple of years ago. Though, 4 x 450R's is a lot of power for that "leisurely" hull.

It might be in Guernsey temporarily, for technical delivery before joining a superyacht as a chase boat. though the name doesn't suggest that.

Fitting those covers must be a one hour mission, especially the white cover I think I can see over the bow, but maybe that's for the crew to deal with .

How many refuelling stops between St. Peter Port and France?

Does the petrol last long enough to get all the way to France at 50knots?

Just over 3 grand to fill up. You’d really hope so!

No I don't fancy one, you need a flat calm day and frankly the Bow Rider bitscare me round here where I have on occasions stuffed the nose on a 48 footer.

I daresay those conditions aren’t unknown off Guensey. I have occasionally thought a change of underwear would be nice in those parts.

45 gallon per hour WOT x 4 = 180 gallons per hour

180 x 4.5 = 810 litres

so enough for a return blast from Uk to France
