Designed for performance-driven sailors across racing, cruising and inland exploration, Flexofold’s folding propellers offer a versatile solution for a wide range of yachts.
Flexofold, renowned for its innovative folding propeller solutions, will showcase its full range at Metstrade, on stand 06.308. Built in Denmark for over 30 years, with approximately 25 branded dealers and 350 retailers worldwide, Flexofold has honed its expertise in crafting folding propellers that offer exceptional performance and efficiency.
Backed by the strength, global support network and engineering expertise of the YANMAR Group, Flexofold remains focused on developing propellers that are designed with user convenience in mind and boast a market-leading, user-friendly installation process that can be easily completed by boat owners for hassle-free setup and immediate use. Flexofold manufactures folding propellers tailored for sailboats and multihull yachts. The product range includes folding propellers for all internationally common shaft drives and for all popular saildrive systems.
Key products on display include:
3-Blade Composite Folding Propeller
Due to the increasing prevalence of electric motors in the market, requiring propellers for larger electric motors, the 3-blade Composite Saildrive propeller features a robust construction with a self-reinforcing triangle of bolts, allowing for the mounting of larger blades (up to 20 inches) and ensuring optimal performance and durability.
Flexofold is the only folding propeller company using lightweight, corrosion-proof composites. Its 2- and 3-blade composite propellers help maximise efficiency and reduce battery use and electrolysis risk.
2 Blade Racing Propeller
This specialist performance propeller, designed for regatta competitors and performance-focused yacht owners, delivers 20% less drag under sail compared to Flexofold’s classic 2-blade folding propeller.
The Racing Propeller addresses the critical challenge of reducing underwater drag to maximize sailing performance. The propeller’s refined blade design allows the blades to fold almost completely behind the saildrive or shaft, minimizing resistance and enabling boats to maintain speed when every fraction of a knot counts.
Henning Uldall, Managing Director at Flexofold ApS commented: “Metstrade is a key event in our calendar, providing an important opportunity to meet with partners and dealers, exchange ideas and showcase the technical innovation, engineering and performance that define the Flexofold range.”
