This is just an idea.
It would be nice to have a thread where people could give the minimum data so others would know how much power is needed to sail a trawler: For example
Boat: Eskimol 46'
LWL: 40.25'
Disp: 55000 lbs
Engine: Brakeoften 145HP*@ 2500
Top Speed: 8.5 knts @ 6.4 GPH
Cruising Speed: 1800 RPM 6.7knts @ 3.1 GPM
Everybody trying to understand fuel consumption, power needed, speed, and other trawler related issues, would come here and read the thread to compare with the possible or real boat of their dreams.
Best regards.
