[C320-list] Early Christmas Present

[Kirk McCullough]

Folding is good too, as long as you align the shaft with a 2 blade so you
don't have one blade hanging down when under sail. A feathering prop won't
have this problem, particularly a Kiwi where each blade feathers
independently, and in-line with the water flow, not in-line with the shaft.

"Go for feathering over folding"
 
I'm not sure I'd agree with this.  I have an autostream  feathering prop.  
While I like the performance, I think the folding might  be slightly better 
under sail.  However, IMO, the feathering will do better  backing the boat
into 
the slip.
