So are you claiming that the MIT study that said that a 3-blade prop could slow
a boat up to 0.8 knots was bad science? Since I have two props, and frequently
sail at 7 to 9 knots, wouldn't these results be especially important to me?

Sorry jaxie, the science is on my side.

is that the folders give me extra speed (or save un-necessary loss) in any
moderate wind condition.


keep telling yourself that, jeffies, and pretty soon you will convince

yourself
of its "truth". the prop manufacturers don't say that, but you go ahead and
repeat a silly mantra as to how much you "invested".

geesh, don't let science get in your way.
