Autoprop’s unique design and superb build quality make it the first choice feathering propeller among cruising yachtsmen the world over, with drag reduction when sailing by at least 85%, and a unique ability to change pitch automatically to suit prevailing wind and sea conditions when motoring or motor sailing. Auto pitching, auto feathering, the same thrust in astern as ahead, less prop-walk in astern, a brand new version for hybrid and purely electrically driven vessels, and a recently developed ability to produce very efficient and economic propulsion for purely diesel powered displacement motor boats are more than reason enough.
Autoprop is a unique propeller which has been praised by yachting writers around the world. Whatever type of cruising sailing yacht you may own, mono or multihull, or displacement motor vessel, leisure or commercial. If you need more information don’t hesitate to contact us.

AMEL TRUST AUTOPROP
For many years the highly respected French yacht builder Chantiers Amel have fitted Autoprops to their yachts as standard.
Latest Amel fits Autoprop (as usual)
One of Autoprop’s longest running associations with an individual boat builder exists with highly respected French yacht builder Chantiers Amel.
In the early ’90’s Amel decided to put an Autoprop on ‘extended’ test fitted to one of their yachts. The standard Autoprop wouldn’t fit an Amel so Bruntons produced one with a specially extended hub however, once Amel were satisfied that the propeller was the right one for their yachts they modified each models design so that the standard Autoprop could be accommodated.
For the last 13 years Amel have only fitted Autoprops to their beautifully engineered and built yachts and they recently confirmed that their latest model, the 64, will continue the
‘tradition’ The first 64 was completed in March 2010 and made her world début at the Cannes Boat Show.
