RE: Photo Gallery - All Members Boats

Thanks for the nice words. Yes, its a continuance of the CHB line from the 1980s and is now sold as the Clipper 36 in Australia, the Marine Trader 34 in the US and until two years ago the North Pacific 36 in North Americia. North Pacific Yachts now offers almost the same boat, but at 38 feet. My boat has a semi displacement hull, and fully laden displaces about 23,000 pounds. Its equipped with a Yanmar LHA 160 engine and at full throttle, 3300 RPMs, it makes just under 10 knots, although I normally cruise at 2000 RPM and 6 knots. Since first fuel up to now, (including gen-set and hydronic heater ussage) my average fuel burn has been 1.7 GPH. - SteveH
