INNOVATION THROUGH MARINE EXPERIENCE... Manufactured here at Darglow, the FeatherStream yacht propeller is a simple solution to many problems that can be caused by fixed propellers. When sailing, the propeller automatically feathers to give minimum drag, improving your average sailing speed by as much as 15% compared to a fixed 3 bladed prop. Available in 12-24" diameters 3, 4 and 5 Blade options available Shaft Drive & Sail Drive models Suits shaft diameters up to 50mm (1 3/4") Pitch adjustable for fine tuning Sail up to 15% faster Less prop walk With our 3 year warranty, we believe the FeatherStream to be one of the finest drag-reducing propellers in the world! Sailing hull speeds can be increased by as much as 15% compared to fixed 3 bladed propeller. Individually hand-built for each and every customer, every FeatherStream is different. With greatly improved reverse thrust over a fixed propeller, it is as powerful in ahead as it is in astern, giving less prop-walk and outstanding close-quarters manoeuvrability. No need for a shaft brake, the shaft remains stationary when sailing. Your FeatherStream is delivered fully assembled and ready to be fitted by you or your engineer. They are easy to fit and go on like your conventional fixed propeller. The FeatherStream has a nickel aluminium bronze body, stainless steel 316 heat treated blades and an external pitch adjuster allowing for fine tuning. Maintenance is easy. All that is needed is to inject grease once a year (usually on haul out) and change the zinc anode when necessary. Darglow offer a full range of spare parts along with replacement anodes to suit.
