A concept for a retiring sailor who wanted a very fuel-efficient power boat and felt no need to travel faster than he did when sailing. At a hull speed of 10 knots, this round-bilged, narrow hull would be very efficient and sea-kindly, needing only a 53 hp (40 kW) diesel to keep it burbling along. A large, slow moving controllable pitch propeller allows the power plant to be fine tuned to conditions, getting the most out of the small engine. Paravanes on outriggers provide roll-damping underway and at anchor.
