I've been off the list for awhile as I was considering going to the dark (non-C&C - but still sail) side. At any rate Ox and I have renewed our vows and I am going to open the ol' checkbook and lavish some attention on my 36 year-old beauty . I've already ordered a new (used) headsail from Minney's. Now I'm thinking about a folding/feathering prop to replace the two-bladed fixed prop I currently have. If there's a way to search the Stu's-List archives for prop info/opinions I will do so.
Ox is in the water year-round so it's not easy to verify some of my assumptions. Ox has a rebuilt A4 (for sure, for sure) with a V-drive (for sure) and a 2:1 reduction gear (I'm pretty sure) and a right-hand drive (prop walk is to port). The prop is a fixed two-blade but I have no idea as to it's size or pitch. Flex-o-fold has my attention as a replacement. I'm not into hardcore racing but a 0.5 to 1.0 knot increase would be very satisfying. Opinions, experiences, and suggestions much appreciated.
