What kind of prop do you use on BEOWULF and is it a feathering prop or folding? I know that you do motor sail and I wonder how you came to the size and pitch that you needed for the boat. I also liked the Bermuda story about the weather, you made a very good move by moving to a new location, it could have been a bad situation had you not moved. Good Sailing, Gary H <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hi Gary –just back from the Caribb. Props are a real cut and try situation– but reducing prop speed and increasing diameter are a sure way to greater efficiency. BEOWULF has a Hundested controllable pitch prop. Very efficient, but also very draggy–Steve <\/p>\n
