What can an Axiom propeller do for your Yacht?
While the Axiom has offered numerous benefits to the narrowboat owner, with whom it has been remarkably popular, the propeller was originally designed and tested with the yachting market in mind. Success during the propeller’s first great challenge, propelling the Mary G across the North Sea in 2007, confirmed the Axiom’s potential to seriously challenge conventional methods of marine propulsion.
During the journey from Ijmuiden to Harwich, the following advantages were noted:
Firm, smooth, uniform steering A reduction in slump by as much as 1.5 degrees Better performance when motor sailing Improved average speed over ground The hull lay flatter in the water and through waves Considerably improved stopping Predictable, powerful and controllable reversing, Elimination of prop walk Improved fuel consumption No sound of cavitation and when the Axiom was removed, no signs of wear.
