[C320-list] Prop Info

[Adam Weiner]

OK, know you guys have my curiosity up.

Anyone in SF Bay Area with a 3 bladed fixed prop who would like to take
me out for a spin?  I won't to see what (my two bladed) is slipping on
and not biting.  What about someone with a folding prop?

What about a little match racing (although that would be hard to compare
because of different sails, etc.)  Perhaps an acceleration race and a
drag race at 2000 RPM's.

Ken,

Thanks for the information, but I'm not sure if I should compare the 2
and 3 blade props. I'd guess that the 2 blade has more slip, less bite. 

Thanks.

  Jeff:

  Grace has the Yanmar engine (3GM30F) with a transmission ratio of
2.21. The 
  two-blade 15 inch Max Prop has the pitch set at 20 degrees. The prop 
  installation and adjustment was done by a very reputable boat yard in
the 
  bay area (KKMI).

  I don't know about maximim spreed. I generally motor at 2600-2800 RPM
and 
  that moves the boat at about 6.5 kts.
