Trip Calculations

Your boat fuel consumption is 15 litres per hour & it has a cruising speed of 20 knots in favourable weather conditions

  • Speed = Distance / Time
  • (knots) = (nautical miles) / (hours)
  • Time = Distance / Speed

= (Scarborough to Tangalooma) / (cruising speed)
= 18 nautical miles / 20 knots
= .9 hour (60 x .9 = 54)
= 54 minutes

Fuel needed? Let's Calculate:

= A to B + B to A + Reserve
= 15 litres + 15 litres + 15 litres
= 45 litres
