T&T: Low boat speed = low power.

[John Baker]

In the car forums, we call it "magazine racing".  People take all the numbers
for their car that are in their favor and conveniently forget about the ones
against them and then claim victory based solely on a set of numbers.  Pretty
much what y'all are doing here.
 
Trawler on,
John

In my example of the Hatteras 48 LRC, it almost does. Nautical MPG is:

1.2 @ 8.4 k
2.3 @ 6.2 k
