>>DO YOU STILL LET YOUR PROP FREEWHEEL WHEN YOU ARE DOING 7.5 TO 8 KNOTS<<
John, that's less than 5% of my sailing time where I am.

Especially as the theoretical max. speed of a Trapper 500/501 should only be 6.7 knots - that's theory anyway and I do have a photograph with the meter showing a genuine 9.1 knots with only the jib set - but that's another story, which I would rather not revisit. And yes, the prop was not locked - I rather had my hands full at the time.

Best,

Brian.
