[C320-list] GFO and Autoprop first report

[Russell Monaco]

dave-
  after hearing about this mysterious and wonderful Autoprop, and all it can do for you under power, under sail and while backing down, I finally broke down and bought one. Although I have only used the boat once since it was put on, last Saturday, god we all felt we were flying!!!

If the Autoprop is worth another full knot, well, that makes it a very 
interesting proposition to me.
