VARIPROP 3-blade feathering propeller

Product information "VARIPROP 3-blade feathering propeller"

For all sailing yachts with an engine power of 6-100 kW

Sailing without brakes - when the engine is switched off, the blades automatically turn to the sailing position due to the water current. This results in minimal drag and, depending on wind conditions, 15% to 20% higher speed. No propeller turbulence!

When switching to reverse, a short turn of the shaft turns the leading edge of the blades by 180° and has a higher efficiency than all fixed pitch propellers - in reverse as well as in forward.

Advantages of a VARIPROP feathering propeller:

  • Lowest drag
  • Very robust with strong gearing
  • SoftStopTM shock absorber
  • External variable pitch adjustment
  • Shortest hub - ideal for small wells
  • Each VARIPROP is manufactured to measure
  • Dynamically machine balanced - smoother, quieter movement and absolutely vibration-free
  • Simple installation like a fixes pitch propeller on the shaft
  • Made in Germany from high-strength Nibral bronze - extremely durable
  • DNV-GL type approval
  • Final certification by three-dimensional measuring instrument (MRI) with test certificate 
  • Available for shaft system and saildrive 

GP as in Grand Performance: Or as in Gawn Profile - the GP series is a further development of the previous world-renowned VARIPROP types and is designed for maximum performance.

Antifouling & Vinyl Primer - JOTUN
Package: Antifouling paint + primer, each 0.4l
New, effective propeller antifouling spray: JOTUN Aqualine Spray & Vinyl PrimerJOTUN Aqualine Spray is a special aerosol antifouling spray paint for the protection of bronze propellers and other underwater parts, such as the shaft, shaft bracket or the end piece of the stern tube, as well as Z-drives or rudder systems. In addition to the excellent effectiveness of the antifouling against growth, it also provides good protection against electrolysis. For this purpose, it is necessary to apply a barrier coat with the corresponding vinyl primer before applying the antifouling. The propeller is then protected against fouling and electrolysis.The JOTUN-Aqualine antifouling paint is available from SPW as a spray in the color grey. You can choose both the paint and the primer in a 0.4 l spray tin or both in a SET. We at SPW are delighted with the JOTUN antifouling, which has proven itself excellently on our own yachts in the North Sea. We continue to collect experiences from Mediterranean and Baltic sailors. Hazard warnings: Extremely flammable aerosol. Pressurized container: May burst if heated. Causes severe eye irritation. May cause allergic skin reactions. May cause sleepiness and light headedness. Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Note: Please note that this product can´t be shipped outside Germany due to DHL shipping restrictions for spray cans. In the case of an order to an EU country, we can offer you a different shipping method.
