The Autostream
marine propeller blades rotate automatically, presenting a very narrow edge to water flow under sail, drag is substantially reduced, dramatically improving performance under sail. Typically speed increases are over 10-15% compared to fixed blade propellers.
Point Higher
The reduced drag allows you to maintain a course closer to the wind, getting you to the fi nish line, the bar or your destination earlier.
Maneuver with Ease
Autostream propeller blades rotate 180 degrees when changing from forward to reverse, giving the same efficiency in both directions. Reverse acceleration is faster leading to less ‘prop walk’ and giving YOU full control over which direction you head, not the propeller. The large blade area gives powerful efficient propulsion, without compromise to
sailing speed.
Other benefi ts include:
A better “feel” on the helm due to less turbulence over the rudder.No need for the expense & complication of a shaft brake.Reduced noise and gearbox wear associated with a rotating prop & shaft.Independant forward & reverse pitch adjustment, set forward for cruising and reverse forthrust / control.
When it comes to overall improvement to a sailboat,both sailing and maneuvring,Autostream Propellers give you the “Best Bang for your Buck”
