I used to like it when Trigger Maru had ahead 1/3 set for 9 knots, best fuel economy. Then somebody talked Ducimus out of what was a masterful scheme. RFB is OK with ahead standard being close to best fuel economy, but when I get out of the S boat it looks like I'll discover it needs tweaking.

So Steve, you think 9 1/2 knots is a more economical speed than 9? I sure hope you're right. An extra half knot would come in handy sometimes.
