Which propeller? I need to change propellers. What do people use and how do you get on with it? Thanks Adrian |

Adrian, six years ago we installed a folding propeller on our 38/014. The propeller is 3-bladed Flex-o-fold, diameter 16" x pitch 14", according to the Professor's recommendation. We have been very satisfied. Best greetings Jyrki |

I support Michael's recommendation of the MaxProp. We had a two-bladed one on Black Tie and it was very good. I am told that the 3-bladed one provides a bit more drag sailing, but is smoother if you want to do a lot of motoring.

Many thanks for the responses. We need to replace a maxprop and eventually went for a featherstream. (Corrosion problem had damaged the maxprop). Just fitted all shinny and new! Back in the water in 2 weeks, so we will see how it performs. Adrian |
