Christmas!!
For Christmas, my girlfriend’s dad got us a Gori Folding propeller. It is not yet installed of course. We’re changing the size/pitch of the prop from 12×12 to 13×9. I’m told that the engine will cruise at a bit higher rpm but will use less fuel and we’ll gain a half-knot under power. We’ll also gain possibly a knot on sails when the prop folds.
If you don’t know what a Gori Folding prop looks like, check out their site. It’s a beautifully handcrafted brass unit clearly built to last. Ours is the two-bladed version.
