foldng prop FOF on beneteau 40

Hi, This is my first post in the group and first of alll I want to say Hi at all. I have a Ben 40 with a yanmar 3jh4e (40cv) and I am thinking to buy a flexofold propeller. They suggest me a 18x13R. Have anyone experience with this boat and propeller in terms of sailing performance and boat speed under engine? Do you have data for boat speed at various RPM? Thanks. Best of all for everyone.See More

Cool, unless you are looking for some quite moments in the bay .... but they normally disappear about 4 or 5 o clock in the afternoon

Comment by Suky Cannon on August 22, 2009 at 4:06pm: guess you're not having much fun, eh ?

Comment by CAN DRAC on August 22, 2009 at 12:39pm: No, we were just witnesses. But had the fight gone international we would have definitely needed water guns! :-)

Comment by LOLA on August 22, 2009 at 11:36am: Were you guys in on this? Pays to carry one of those water guns
