Kiwi propeller

[larsake]

After losing one blade on my 3B Gori propeller I am now in the process to get a new propeller to my Forgus 37, classical swedish sailyacht.

I have read all propeller tests I have found and all quality propellers have similar performance, but the price differs dramatic. The by far cheapest is the Kiwi propeller. Apart from being relatively cheap it also has adjustable pitch.

Is there somebody having experience of Kiwi? Is there a disadvantage I miss?

Google propeller tests- I had a Kiwi prop for 10 years and it performed ok.
Because it's a feathering prop it's not as "efficient" as a folding prop such
as a flexofold. I now have a flexofold prop which motors faster speed at lower RPM. They are 50% more expensive (2200 vs 1500) for 17" 3 blade.
