Re: [Cal_Boats] Cal 9.2 Folding Prop ?

Hi Nick, I put a Martec 13/10 on "Airtime". She had a Martec 12/10 on her when I bought her, and was told that was on the small side. From the information I ascertained 13" is about as big as the 9.2 will support (if your prop strut is in the same location as mine) but if I had to do it again I would consider more pitch. It seems to me the 5411 is hardly working with 10 degree pitch. I bet 12 degrees would produce more power/speed. So I would ask your rep about a 13/12. I would also check into a Flex-o-fold. They are geared and pack a punch. David Owen with the Cal 29 "Mariposa" put one on his and raves about it. In fact I can't keep up with him under power, and he has less horsepower and a heavier boat. But then, he can't keep up with me on the race course, so were even. Daniel Casey "Air Time" Cal 9.2R #75 Santa Barbara, Ca.

Daniel, If your 12/10 is sitting in your garage, I am willing to make a fair offer in US Dollars. Please let me know if it is still available. Thanks, Nick Hi Nick, I put a Martec 13/10 on "Airtime".

I have saved your email for the PHRF protest that will be launched next season. All kidding aside -- Nobody can keep up with Dan's 9.2R when he's in the groove. She points extremely high, sails fast and does well in all wind conditions, especially light air. Well, she does well in light air if Dan doesn't have his 600#s of liquor and cruising gear on board.
