On passage, what speed do you decide to turn on an engine?
curious what speed you are willing to put along at without the iron wind assist. With most catamarans having two engines and two fuel tanks we may be willing to motor sail a bit sooner than our mono hull brothers. I know we are willing to turn on one at a time to split the hours and fuel consumption.



Assume there are no weather threats or the like forcing you to speed up.


Me. I am fine in the 4 knot range. Seeing SOG in the 3s makes me reach for the ignition.
