[Public-List] prop survey

[Jeffrey]

Hmm. Thanks Guys.  I wonder if the small blades of my Campbell Sailor
prop are the cause of the seaweed issue. I like the idea of less drag,
but the this is getting crazy.

Has anyone done any studies, regarding prop drag when sailing for
boats like ours with much of the prop hidden behind the deadwood?  I'm
wondering if prop surface area is less of an issue with our boats.

Anyone want to buy a used Campbell Sailor prop!?
