Based on the inputs on the subject, it is hard to know
for
sure - isn't it?

Maybe we should call MythBusters?

Why not simply try it. Go sailing and have your knotmeter
working
(mine doesnt work) with prop locked, record speed, unlock
it and go for
a minute and record speed. Do this maybe 10 times and
average. Tell
us what happens. Theory and talk is great but reality
makes the world
work.

As said in another thread about this, we have tried it, but
without conclusive results. Many factors influence the speed
o a sailboat, and the instruments are not that accurate ...
but the thread gave other ideas for testing.
