Re: catalina27-talk: In Gear Under Sail?

Dave I've been told the same thing.  Put the engine in reverese gear when you are sailing (and the engine is off; of course).  This will keep the prop from spinning while the boat is moving. I realy don't think the extra speed gained by not having the prop spin will amount to much , but I can see how not having the prop and transmission spin all the time would be better for the transmission; not as much wear and tear.
