Diesel fuel is still relatively cheap. Of the cruisers I
know, 99% of them motor 99% of the time when they are trying
to actually get somewhere. Crap sails is one reason for

set of good sails.



Yes, my total expenditure on fuel since I bought the boat comes
nowhere near the price of a single sail.

I filled the tank in July and have burned off half of it already.
It's a 3 gllon tank.
