In a folding-blade propeller, the blades fold parallel to the hull during sailing due to the force of the water flow, which significantly reduces water resistance compared to a fixed-blade propeller. This improves sailing performance, increases speed—especially in light winds—and reduces unnecessary drag. Flexfold propellers are known for their good maneuverability and excellent traction, even when reversing.

Flexofold It is an excellent choice for cruising sailors and performance-oriented boaters who want to combine efficient motor power with the best possible sailing performance.

Why choose a Flexofold propeller?

Durable and reliable construction

Blades and hub made of extremely strong and highly corrosion-resistant nickel-aluminum bronze (NiBr-Al), combined with the blades’ durable folding mechanism, makes the Flexofold folding propeller an excellent and long-lasting choice.

The material withstands both mechanical stress and long-term use in demanding conditions. The precision-machined folding mechanism opens and closes reliably, ensuring efficient power transmission during motor operation and extremely low water resistance while sailing.

Careful craftsmanship and high-quality materials make Flexofold a long-lasting investment for your sailboat.

High-quality materials and advanced design and construction

The Flexofold propeller is efficient, reliable, and of the highest quality. The Flexofold propeller is made of strong NiBr-Al nickel-aluminum bronze, and its double-row toothing—which offers excellent resistance to blade wear—ensures highly reliable operation. The blade attachment mechanism, the design of the locking pins, and the locking mechanism on the propeller hub are all engineered for reliability.

High-performance – excellent traction even when reversing

When sailing, the propeller blades close due to the force of the water flow, but open quickly and efficiently when the engine is running.

Thanks to the advanced design of its blades, the Flexofold propeller responds quickly, for example, when switching from forward to reverse speed in a harbor area, and vice versa.

When sailing, propeller drag is extremely low, which enhances the sailing experience even in lighter winds. Flexofold folding propellers ensure an enjoyable and worry-free sailing season year after year.
