Right now, we are burning about 2 gal...Thanks Joel.<br />Right now, we are burning about 2 gallons an hour running between 6.5 and 7 kts. We just re-pitched the prop about 18 months ago to bring the cruising rpm down a bit, but I don't think our average fuel burn has changed much. Fore and aft masts with sail assist rig will bring that burn rate down a little I think.<br />I will look into what we still have for cut disc. You would of course still need to buy the plans from Buehler. Drop me a line if you get serious about building the Swan and we can talk. I know that the guy who helped me build the bare hull would love to build another one...<br />-PBPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074046315219284398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370225832728915298.post-85976082257690479232017-01-13T07:58:50.954-08:002017-01-13T07:58:50.954-08:00The boat's beautiful, Peter. Congrats. What ki...The boat's beautiful, Peter. Congrats. What kind of fuel burn are you expecting from the Cummins? Also, if you have a cutting disc, would you be interested in selling it? I'm exploring either Swan 55 or a Duck 45 Plus but a cutting disc, and the related construction time, might sway me to the Swan. thanks.
