Why Choose a Hydralign?
Hydralign feathering propellers are chosen by sailors - especially cruising yacht owners - because they offer a balance of performance, efficiency, and reliability compared to fixed or folding propellers.

Sail Faster With
Improved Performance
Reduced drag: When feathered, the blades align with the water flow, greatly reducing resistance compared to a fixed prop. This can add up to 1.5 knots of boat speed under sail.
Improved pointing ability: Less drag means better upwind performance and efficiency.
Strong thrust forward & astern: Unlike folding props (which can be weaker in reverse), Hydralign feathering props provide nearly equal efficiency in both directions. This makes maneuvering in tight marinas much easier.
Better fuel efficiency: The efficient blade design reduces load on the engine, lowering fuel consumption.
Built to last with
Superior Engineering
Rugged construction: Hydralign props are built from high-strength materials, designed for long-term reliability in demanding cruising conditions.
Low maintenance: Greasing and occasional inspection are usually all that’s required.
Adjustable pitch: The propeller’s pitch can be adjusted, letting owners fine-tune performance to their engine and sailing style.
Tailored design: Optimised for specific boat to deliver the best compromise between sailing and motoring.
Less prop-walk: Improved reverse thrust helps with docking control.
Quieter motoring: Smooth blade action reduces vibrations and noise.
Renowned durability: 30+ years of service with original 1992 models still in use today.
