"I have calculate ,2065 miles at 8 knots , it's 262 hours for the best time , certainly more....I am still has the research of conversion tables"
Just how long is the WL of the boat?
8K is a pretty high speed for an ocean crossing , unless she is 60+ on the water line.
Perhaps a slower speed 7K or 6k might cut the fuel bill in half?
Or increase the range to dry tanks by 40-60%?
For a good guestimate of speed and fuel burn Beede , Passagemaker book # 1 is a good guide.
