Not sure if this link will work as I’m on my phone in a hotel room in Amsterdam but hopefully it’s what you want.

The plans are available if you want chapter and verse.

Many thanks Ronald. Yes, got some of the plans and can see others on CRT Archive. Needed to see the sweep and twist in the swim - nothing like a photo sometimes...

Nuneaton in dry dock at Grendon this spring.IMG_20170418_163142.jpg.ab6c2eaeb6cfc4ee35c6f72034fd684d.jpg

I'm rather hoping that someone was having a laugh by temporarily sliding that propeller on to the shaft, rather than it being one it had actually been operating with!

Funnily enough it had done about four year's service when we changed it this spring and I think we'd definitely got our money's worth out of!  It was pretty old and knackered when it was fitted as a trial - cost us about £80 I think. The boat went ok and held back without drama. It did tend to attract more than its fair share of T shirts and saris, and chucking back didn't always slide stuff off quite as well as it might, but it's amazing how good you can get with a cabin shaft given enough practice.

We've replaced it with a shiny new 22 x 12 right hander which is slightly lower geared than the old one and exhibits quite a bit less prop walk.

Apologies if this is hijacking the thread but I'd be interested to know what size props others use. Nuneaton has a Lister HRW2 with a 2:1 box.
