[C320-list] Adam is not compensating

[Adam Weiner]

Look guys, I don't need to compensate with a third blade.  I keep
telling you mine is two and why is everyone so darn concerned about
asking the question to Mr. Douglas, he raised the issue in the Mainsheet
regarding the 350's.

Love and kisses,

Adam

You're correct Adam, in SF Bay, for the type of sailing you do, a
folding prop is not a big deal...where the folder makes sense is in
light wind conditions where that 3-bladed acts like a huge brake under
your boat

Two bladed not three.

For some reason which I don't understand I seem to always sail upwind.
I will leave my marina's channel and sail up wind for four hours, turn
around and for reasons which make no sense I am up wind for four hours.
We joke that the boat is so fast that the apparent wind is always
brought all the way forward.

If Orlando is right that 12 knots is the point (and I would love to hear
from Jerry on this) then I don't need a folding prop since 90% of my
sailing is in winds over 12k apparent.

I hope this question gets added to the questions for Mr. Douglas.

Adam
