  Well, I am heading out in a few minutes for the first sail of the year.
NOAA weather prediction is Gale Warnings with gusts over 40k.

I have the stock 11 year old 135 on the headstay and don't feel like
changing to my custom 100% so it will be double reef and 1/2 of the 135
(too big in the belly though.) So here is my question:

What type of propeller do I buy to slow me down?

I have a Word document comparing some of the prop manufacturers that you

mentioned. There are comparisons of Autoprop, MaxProp, and Martec by
C320 
owners. It used to be on the C320 web site. I can attach a copy of it
to 
an email if you or anyone else is interested. One piece of information
on 
the Autoprop seems to have changed and that is the original article 
indicated a 16" diameter was appropriate whereas I just received a 
recommendation that 15" diameter was recommended.

I've decided to replace my fixed 3 blade prop. Given the projected
expenditure some research is needed. I plan to review available
literature, talk to other sailors and list postings to make an informed
choice. The props I will examine include: Autoprop, MaxProp, Gori, and
Flex-o-fold.

My question: are these four the major candidates or am I missing one?

Also, I'm thinking about documenting my research for the website or an
article for Mainsheet. So if anyone has information they wish to share,
anecdotal or otherwise, and at the risk of starting a really long thread
(but hey it's snowing outside), please reply to this post.

Thanks
