J-Prop Adjustable pitch feathering propellers
The J-Prop has a sophisticated blade model and gives this screw an optimal thrust. The main advantage is that during sailing the blades are automatically pushed into the sail position by the flowing water. In this position the resistance is practically nil.
The J-prop is supplied with 2,3 or 4 blades and in all cases the drive system is almost the same. The propeller can be used for both left- and right-hand motors due to its symmetrical blade cross-section and shape. J-Prop is a well-known name in the sailing world, a proven brand, which is produced in Italy.
Application
2-bladed propellers are often applied to racing yachts
3-bladed propellers are often used for sailing yachts
4-bladed propellers are often used with heavier round and flat bottoms
