Hi,

Someone should really do the maths on this claim of 5 yrs cruising.

What is the hourly fuel consumption and speed of this vessel?

If it's generators only knock out 275 ekW ( assuming this is enough to keep all the domestic systems up and running) the fuel capacity would be exhausted in less then 15 months without lifting the anchor and going anywhere.

If just the one genset were running for this whole time it would also need a rebuild ( CAT Figures)

What about when you pull into port and the country you visit takes away all the vegetation onboard citing agriculture concerns and restrictions.
