I have the Gori 11.5 x 8 on Windburn, also with an Atomic 4. My guess is that it is slightly over pitched and that 11.5 x 7.5 or 11.5 x 7 might be the optimal size.
I have not found it to be an issue since Windburn is kept light for racing and bereft of bimini and dodger. While motor sailing, those days where we can do 2 - 3 kts under sail, the over pitch is great. Lower RPM, no noise or vibration , and can get to 6.0+ kts. If your situation includes a heavier configuration for cruising, maybe dealing with currents often, or long runs then you may be giving up some speed on the top end.

I have been looking at our options and the Gori 2 blade geared prop 11.5 X 8 looks like it would do the job. Before I pull the trigger on this, I would like to check with the list for opinions/experiences on brands, model etc. Currently we have a 2 blade fixed. Thanks a million. Joe Zia 30 MK1 Annapolis
