The joys of a threesome
      #1852091 - 08/05/2008 22:09



Snapped at Poole today. 108 feet long, 76 tons, 7500HP and would you believe 47 knots. Gludy, just think of the fuel burn

Two orthodox and one southpaw. I guess for manouevring the centre engine is off leaving opposite-handed props on the outside engines. Pretty smart.
