Ylva "Den Røde Løber", Denmark

Group winner of the 138 nautic miles regatta "Palby Cup 2010", Denmark!



"When installing a new electric engine I should have a relatively large 16" propeller - which worried me a lot. I ended up choosing a Flexofold Racing Propeller which is perfect in terms of low drag, high preformance and super finish. I´m very pleased".

Leif Pehrson, Denmark 2010

“We have a Dynamique 52 that weighs 17 tons. After 4 years with a fixed propeller we changed to a Flexofold 3-blade 22x15-3R in May 2004. We were a little worried about how it would perform by dock maneuvers, especially in reverse. But it is not a problem, it works 100% ok. By cruising, the engine fell 2-300 RPM for the same speed. By sail we enjoy the extra 1 knot speed and no tingling from the shaft. The propeller is still, after 5 years in the water throughout the year, still as new, no corrosion or traces of wear”.

Nordsee-46 "SY Brita", Kiel-Holtenau in Germany



“On May 7, 2010 I installed my new 3-blade Flexofold propeller and yesterday tried out. The calculation and recommendation was very good. Already by 1450 RPM I have a good "cruising speed" of 6.3 knots. At 2000 PRM it´s about 8 knots. Regarding propwalk in reverse, you were right, this is much less than with my old double-wing fixed propeller.
I am very pleased with the smoothness: No cavitation or noise, no vibration, no shock when the propeller opens. Praise the manufacturer! Thanks for the good advice".

Klaus-Ferdinand Wachulka, Germany 2010


 

LM30 "Dea", Thurø in Denmark

“When we bought our LM 30 she had a fixed propeller with a lot of drag by sail. We have had even a very good experience with Flexofold on our previous boat - it works. So we had no doubt that our LM30 should have a three-blade Flexofold too. This time we agreed with Flexofold that we should try not to install the zinc anode on the propeller. Result: we had only 6 barnacles throughout the screw, whereas propellers on the boats around us were totally overgrown.

The propeller is not polished nor treated with any kind of anti-fouling. We have now sailed in three seasons without corrosion and fouling - simply fantastic!".

Winner 11.20 - Antwerpen in Belgium


“SUPER! No problems with the flexofold so far…and with this kind of service, I will surely recommend it to EVERYONE!”

Jessica Janssens, Belgium, 2010




Compromis 999 - Viersen in Deutschland


"For 5 years, I am thrilled from your 2-blade folding propeller on my Compromis 999.
Last week I called you as the shock absorbers were broken. The sent shock absorbers are now mounted and next week we go back into the water.  Now I am not just very satisfied with the propeller, but impressed by your customer service. For me, the choice of a new propeller (I am looking for a new ship at the time) is already determined.
It will be a Flexofold!"

Horst Dammer, Deutschland, 2010
