[C320-list] RPM Vs SOG

I remember that when I show up at the dock it's to get over doing 450 knots,
drink a little scotch and get over the unrelenting pace of life.

Remember, when it comes to fixed-bladed props it's not the speed under power
that's important it's the speed under sail that counts...remember, a 320 is

I too have the lowly 2 blade fixed pitch prop and got 6 knots at 2800
