That sound close. I just be about the same as Wild Wind IV

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.
