Plans to build the 27' San Miguel Full-Displacement Cruiser
I was with a good friend planning a trip to the Channel Islands in his 31 foot twin gas engined boat, when we estimated how many times we'd have to stop and fill up his 130 gallon tanks. We got to calculating how much it was going to cost with today's fuel costs, and decided it was just as cheap to fly to Mazatlan, stay in a first class hotel and charter a local guide to take us fishing for a few days. The fishing would have been better, too! That weekend I went home and sketched up the San Miguel, a boat that two guys could take out for a few days or a week, have enough creature comforts to at least not feel like you were camping, and not break the bank with fuel costs.
I designed this boat to be able to go 8-10 knots and burn in the 1 to 2 gallons per hour range. It'll plug along fine with a small sailboat auxiliary of about 30 hp. With 100 gallons aboard, you should be able to to have a 400 mile range, which here in So Cal, should allow you to explore the Channel Islands for a week or so and get home on one tank with plenty to spare.
