The Variprop 2-blade (DF 80 and DF 107) is the standard propeller for smaller sailing yachts with an output of 6 – 40 kW. The 2-blade is ideal for such sailing yachts since it has very high efficiency under power, as well as very low drag, as it only has 2 blades. The manoeuvrability is outstanding, since in reverse gear each blade self-adjusts to the optimum pitch. The VARIPROP 2-blade is ideal for racing and cruising. #propeller

Dalla Gomera sono andata all'isola di Hierro con la mia barca a vela Maneki. Sono circa 40 miglia nautiche con vento da Nord. L'isola di Hierro (ferro in spagnolo) e' quella piu' piccola dell'arcipelago spagnolo delle Canarie e anche quella piu' a sud. Era l'ultimo lembo di terra 'conosciuto' dalla nostra civilta' prima della grande distesa di acqua dell'dell'oceano Atlantico e per questo i cartografici avevano deciso di iniziare a contare la longitudine della Terra proprio da qui. Hierro convenzionalmente era il 'meridiano zero'. Le antiche mappe partono infatti dal 'meridiano di Hierro'. Sull'isola c'e' una sola marina, La Estaca e un porticciolo di pescatori (La Restinga). Essendo molto vulcanica, non ha spiagge, quindi e' difficile ancorare. Pero' ho trovato un posto, nel Mar de la Calma, costa meridionale. Come di deduce dal nome l'ancoraggio e' calmissimo. Unico inconveniente: niente campo internet e almeno 4 ore di sentiero impervio prima di raggiungere il primo villaggio...fuori dal mondo appunto.
