More like 60+ltrs per hour or 2.5ltr per mile!
The cabin makes for great all weather boating we had a quick blast from Largs to Sandbanks Holly loch on Sunday for a pie, beer & watch the footy only wearing jeans & sweatshirts!
So whatever the Scottish summer throws at you it will be well covered!

Now, if you're realy clever you can sacrifice around 10 billion midges to appease the weather gods!
If you're up for a week we'll probably miss you, (we're up there later in August) but you could do a lot worse than to buy a copy of the CCC sailing directions.

Erraid at the Ross of Mull just before the Sound of Iona. I go there a lot when sailing, usually anchor in Tinkers Hole which is the next bay round and you can walk over to this place. Its fine to anchor in Davie Balfours in quiet conditons, in the rib I reckon you could probably just take a line ashore.

Bit like a game of poker this!  Mull's good, but you can't beat Colonsay!

Good photos and leads there guys .. I've disposable barbecue itch already, and a thirst for peace and quiet and solitude in a massive space you just cant describe what that feels like.. you have to be in it, with some decent weather to feel the massive restorative force that comes from it

Just back from a great week, and starting to sort through photos.
Met up with Ally S and Puffin (thanks for the guiding!) as well as Polwart, willk and donegaldan on the jaunt to Radbay. Tried to catch up with Jambo and dougcrock but we didn't end up in the same place at the same time!
Integrity anchored on Loch Etive: Ally S and crew: Iona
