Episode V3 - Feathering Propellor
06/08/09 08:01 Filed in: Video
A look at our Variprop feathering propellor. It
reduces drag under sail but still produces full power
when motoring. Since it is a 4 bladed prop it
produces the most thrust in the aperture we have
between the skeg and the hull of our Southerly 42. We
got some nice shots showing it actually feathering.
