Bruntons Propellers | The Live Equipment [boot Düsseldorf 2026] | Multihulls World

► Bruntons Propellers had a booth at the boot Düsseldorf show to promote its propeller solutions for sailboats - and therefore multihulls. Founded in 1868, the British company draws on its long industrial experience, something that doesn’t prevent it from continuing to develop its products for recreational boating. ► At the stand, David Sheppard, Sales and Marketing Director, reiterated the brand’s core business: “We mainly design propellers for sailboats and motor yachts, and in the recreational boating sector, we offer the Autoprop and the Varifold.” ► The Autoprop is based on an automatic variable pitch mechanical principle. “The propeller constantly finds the right pitch for the speed of the boat,” explains David. This process optimizes propulsive efficiency compared to a conventional propeller, reduces hydrodynamic resistance when purely under sail, and improves performance astern by maintaining the leading edge of the propeller. The technology is also available with the Autoprop Eco*Star, developed for hybrid and electric engines. Bruntons is currently working with several shipyards involved in electric and hybrid multihull projects, particularly on aluminum vessels designed for long-distance cruising. ► Another solution presented is the Varifold, a folding propeller designed to reduce drag under sail while maintaining satisfactory efficiency under power. Specific versions for sail drives are also available and widely used on multihulls. ► Sign up for our newsletter and win a free two-month subscription to Multihulls World by clicking here: https://bit.ly/48JP1Vk ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!
