VARIPROP feathering propeller

The VARIPROP 3-blade (DF 80 and DF 280) is the original standard propeller for sailing vessels with an output of 6 – 100 kW. It delivers very smooth running, equally good stability especially at sea under power, and very low drag. Just like the VARIPROP 2-blade, the 3-blade has outstanding manoeuvrability, since in reverse each blade self-adjusts to the optimum pitch. The VARIPROP 3-blade is the ideal propeller for cruising yachts.

Variprop 3-blade

Variprop 4-blade

A 4 blade VARIPROP is smooth running, has tremendous power, and with no vibration. Plus of course all the usual VARIPROP advantages: great stopping power, total steering control in reverse, simple ptich adjustability, and awesome precision construction and strenght.
