A good day in the Stream

took this during one of our recent Gulf Stream crossing.

So when are we going to see you on "Below Deck"?

 

[PascalG]

Never . I don't do garbage tv. Sorry. Reality tv.

I even stopped watching deadliest catch a few years ago because all those tough guys had become gossipy touchy feelly drama queens more suited to "housewives of the bearing sea"

How fast was that Lazzara running at 1800 RPM x 2?

 

[pdecat]

Do you notice the 25 RPM difference between engines?

 

[PascalG]

25 rpm? 1797 and 1800 is 3 rpm... rpm always fluctuate but 5 to 10 depending on rudder angle

JD.. about 23kts at 1800, 26 at 2000 and tops around 32kts at 2300

From the wake I'd thought "at least 20." That thing's FAST! Then again, 3300 HP pushing What, 100 tons? Oughta move! Beautiful.
CG's 87-ft boats have about 2700 HP for 91 tons.. Not sure they're quite as fast as the Lazzars. Wonder if there's room to get the MTU 8V's our and 12V's in...

The CG ship I was on had "only" 5100 HP to push a little over 900 tons, about 19 KT and was absolutely not a planing hull.

You are correct. I misread it
