Measure Before Redesign
Don't redesign because people think you're wrong. Redesign because reality proves you're wrong.

Related term: variable pitch propeller — I believe that's the idea of the Hundestadt variable pitch propeller. In theory it allows the engine to run at its most efficient RPM under different loads. My understanding is that fishing boats use it because of the higher drag loads when towing nets.

Related term: variable pitch propeller — Our 100-year old Brig had a variable pitch propeller powered by a 3-cylinder 2-stroke diesel engine. Yeah, it was an antique. When we needed to back down, the engineer turned a crank to place the blades into reverse. Unfortunately, she’s no longer with us. 😢

...eading his books & correspondence over many years, plus sailing my own and a friend's junk rig. I'm no expert. FKT Why the fuck does he all those welded metal pipes in his sail? What the hell is wrong with this guy?
