Hello colleagues Filled with gas for the Atomic 4 in Port Whitby Canada Day and sailed back to Toronto. Wind out of the West and tight timeline meant we had to motor against the wind and waves for 2.5 hr. That would be relatively “hard” motoring at 4-5 knots. Since then I’ve motored about another 3/4hr for a total of 3.25 hours, again at about 4.5 knots. Filled with gas again the other day to measure gas consumption and got 7.9 litres per hour, or 1.8 gal per hour. I’ve got a 2-blade folding prop (which, by the way, make reversing difficult - in the sense that there is no quick stopping). Does that seem normal? Online research seems to go from 0.5 to 2-3 gal per hour. Anyone with an A4 on a C&C34 with a gas consumption comparison out there? thanks Jay Hackney Windblown Toronto
