Diesel consumption and range
The fuel consumption is directly depending on speed, the sea state and hard winds. It will differ widely,
up to six times from economic to full speed. Never under-estimate the period of time the engine might
be in use, always count with a safe margin. Remember that the tanks should never be run empty!
Rough estimation for diesel consumption per hour (no responsibility taken):
Hallberg-Rassy 310 1.9 litres
Hallberg-Rassy 342 2.3 litres
Hallberg-Rassy 372 3.1 litres
Hallberg-Rassy 40 3.7 litres
Hallberg-Rassy 412 4.4 litres
Hallberg-Rassy 43 5 litres
Hallberg-Rassy 48 6.5 litres
Hallberg-Rassy 55 10 litres
Hallberg-Rassy 64 16 litres
The fuel consumption is depending on what kind of propeller you have chosen. More detailed
figures may be found on www.hallberg-rassy.com and look for your yacht model and fuel
consumption / propeller data.
These figures are regarded to cruising speed
(=appx. 70-75 % of maximum RPM) in
smooth sea conditions and little wind with an empty boat. The figures are
also with a very clean under water body and very clean propeller. What this
cleanness does for the fuel consumption, can only be under-estimated.
