Cowes to Monte-Carlo 2013

The 7000 liters is from Brest to MC. Shirleys question was for the organizers fuelplanning so everyone is supposed to have the fuel for the first leg to Brest.
Think I will fill up some 8-900 liters for the first leg so the total for the race is almost 8000 liters.

The engines use about 100-105 l per engine at 3000 rpm which translates to 76-77 kn with racepropellers. The tests I made before the winter showed about 2,6-2,8 l/Nm at 65 kn average. Also know that Fabio calculates with 5,9 l/Nm at 80 kn for Cesa with his 600+ engines so my 7-8000 liters for the race should not be to far of.
