Darglow FeatherStream Propellers

Darglow FeatherStream range

The future of feathering propellers, including a 3 year warranty! Darglow’s FeatherStream propeller is a simple solution to many problems that can be caused by fixed propellers. When sailing, the propeller automatically feathers to give minimum drag, significantly improving your average sailing speed by as much as 15%, compared to a fixed 3 bladed prop. It requires no operating system and fits directly onto the existing prop shaft.

Delivered fully assembled and ready to be fitted. They are nearly as easy to fit as a fixed propeller. With its unique external pitch adjuster and its ability to fit into a restricted aperture if required, we believe FeatherStream to be one of the finest feathering propellers on the market today.

Innovation, bred through our long pedigree in the marine engineering industry

Darglow has over 30 years experience in feathering propeller design and in 2006 took the uniquely  brave decision to design and manufacture a fully feathering propeller in the UK when many companies were moving production to China or India. FeatherStream was born! The propeller has a nickel aluminium bronze body, stainless steel 316 heat treated blades and also an external pitch adjuster allowing for fine tuning the pitch of the propeller in less than 15 minutes.

• Available sizes: 12″ – 20″ diameter
• 3 & 4 blade options
• Suits prop shafts up to ISO35mm
• Shaftdrive fitting as standard
• Saildrive options

Replacement pitch cassette for easy pitch adjustment – supplied free of charge.

No need for a shaft brake, the shaft remains stationary when sailing.

With greatly improved reverse thrust over a fixed propeller, it is as powerful in ahead as it is in astern, giving less ‘prop-walk’ and outstanding close-quarters manoeuvrability.

FeatherStream requires no operating system and fits directly onto the existing prop shaft or saildrive leg. Delivered fully assembled and ready to fit – they are almost as easy to fit as a fixed propeller.
With our 3 year warranty, we believe the FeatherStream to be one of the finest drag-reducing propellers in the world!

Maintenance is easy. All that is needed is to inject grease once per season and change the zinc anode when necessary. Darglow carries a full range of new replacement anodes to suit all propellers.
