Flexofold 3 Blade Propeller - Shaft Mount Propeller

Why Flexofold 3 Blade Propeller? 

The Flexofold 3 Blade propellers provide the best combination of low drag, high thrust, reversing performance, quality, and price.   Flexofold props are the boatbuilder's choice for folding props.  Reduce your drag under sail while increasing your thrust and fuel economy while motoring (vs a traditional fixed sailboat prop).

Many people don't realize that standard sailboat props are a compromise between drag and thrust, satisfying neither particularly well.  The benefit of a Flexofold prop is that it optimizes both.  Meaning that not only do you benefit while sailing (from the significantly reduced drag), but you'll also see  performance benefit while motoring (as well as the increased fuel economy that comes with it).  The bladed are bigger and have a better hydrodynamic profile than fixed-blade sailboat props, presenting more swept-area for increased efficiency.  Yet, they fold away when sailing, presenting minimum drag for the best sailing performance.

Flexofold propellers feature a NiBrAl alloy hub and blades fixed by stainless steel pins and a zinc anode which covers the helical gearing.  On tests, it gave the highest forward thrust and highest top speed of ANY prop and will power your boat at hull-speed at lower RPMs. Superior stopping and manoeuvring with less prop-walk than any other prop.  

Drag under sail is 3 lbs at 6 knots.  More efficient motoring and sailing than any feathering prop, yet won’t catch weeds, crab pots or bags like a feathering prop under sail.
