[PCW] Building Domino

[Georgs Kolesnikovs]

Let's see . . . for us old-timers, that works out to be

    10 knots, about 1.4 mpg = 7.14 gallons per hour (gph)

    At  11 knots, 1.1 mpg = 10.0 gph

For comparison sake, here are the actual fuel burns from recent long passages:

Dashew 83	Wind Horse	11.5	6.82
Pachoud 60	Wild Wind IV	9.3	5.17
Nordhavn 47	Bacchus		6.2	2.7
Nordhavn 40	Nordhavn		6.67	2.92

The first number is speed in knots, the second is the fuel burn in 
gallons per hour.
