Propeller Handbook

reprint Adlard ColesNautical, 1997; 152pp; photos and drawings; £22.00;

The mystery of propeller design and application has been revealed by Dave Gerr in a manner which will enable both the boat owner and the marine engineer to understand and apply the information with confidence. Generally, books written both for the non-technical and the technical fail to satisfy either. The author’s style overcomes this. Illustrations and drawings are clear and concise. Although written for an american audience, the facts are the same for all.

If you have ever wondered about your propeller - and most of us have - then reference to this handbook will almost certainly guide you through the maze. LL
