The old boat (6.5 Vipermax/150 Opti) liked approx 24-26knts for optimum speed/economy. This would give pretty much 1:1. The current set-up sits more comfortably at around 28-30knts. Not sure exactly what Nm/Ltr I'm getting owing to not having the Icommands entirely nailed down.

Likewise, with my Humber i'm at more than 30kn for a 1:1 ratio in calm conditions. I'd say 32kn as a guesstimate.

Look. I don't know you. You're probably a very nice man too. But. Would it be impolite of me to state for the record that your views on fuel prices suck too?

Absolutely not. And if you care to know, our tax never exceeds 20% and although we now have an equivalent of VAT it's only 3%.

Mind you, our snow's pretty crap. Make you feel any better?

It's tough, but we've got a multifuel stove, so at least we can burn our excess banknotes to keep warm in this weather.

Let me see. You live on an island with a low rate of income tax and low rate of VAT. You also enjoy a low rate of fuel duty and have a boat. Hmm.

I'm early retired, fit and healthy. Do you need a butler?

I'd love a butler, but sadly unless you were locally born or you've lived on our island for at least 5 yrs, I'd have to give preference to a local without getting special dispensation from the powers that be. Population control they call it (an alternative to the free contraceptives that most other countries might use!)

Errm, one thing I forgot to mention, you'd need at least £200k to buy a half decent one bed flat here and half a million for a good 3 bed semi. And that's an island wide price, you can't go and live in a cheaper parish and save a few quid.

It's not always as rosy as we try and make out . Asset rich, cash poor.

I get around 1 mile per litre at around 23kts in calm (but not flat) conditions. It uses a fair bit less if I drop to 20tks though.
