Thinking of changing to a 3 blade prop?
Westerly 26 foot about 7000 pounds when in the water and occupied.
Engine is a Volvo MD1B (9 HP) with maximum speed of 1800 RPM via a 1:1
forward reverse gear.
Reason for change is we need a new prop.
Also advice some years back from a couple who took a similar size boat
cruising the Caribbean and claimed that the 3 blade was much better,
while experiencing no increased drag under sail!
Would welcome any comments/advice.
