[C320-list] Reverse or neutral transmission while sailing

[Dave Hupe]

 The manual for my older hull (#32) Hurth transmission (HBW 50 - 2R) says the transmission must be in neutral while sailing (and that rotation of the propeller will cause no damage while under no load, such as for sailing, being towed or while docked on a river with current).  The manual says never put the gear lever in the direction of travel (forward) while sailing,  The manual is confusing though in that it then says locking of the propeller shaft by having a separate brake is not needed, just put the transmission in reverse.  So, the manual seems to suggest either neutral or reverse is ok for sailing.
