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.

BAVARIA 34
Jan and Marianne Stenqvist tells us their experience of our Autoprop on their beloved Barvria 34.
"We installed the Autoprop in our Bavaria 34 in May. We have now travelled more than 1700 nm and tested the Autoprop during different conditions. From Dutch canals to fresh winds on the Northsea. We as well as our crew, the dog Trinda, are very pleased. We are cruising with a speed of 6 to 7 knots/hour. If the wind isn’t good enough we add speed by having the motor running with 1000 – 1500 rpm. Before we had the Autoprop the average rpm of the motor was 2700 rpm. Now we make the same speed through the water with the motor running 2000 rpm. We are enjoying less noise and reduced fuel consumption. We think the motor will live longer. Trinda, our dog, likes that we now are more likely to be back in harbour in time"
