Tested new rebuilt prop. No slip when you push the throttle down, but the top end speed in flat water was only 31.7 knts at 5050 rpm. A little slower then the old prop with about 150 fewer rpms. I think I need the new SS prop. (31.7knts x 1.15 = 36.45mph)

We can pile the kids onto Morning Star! I wish I read the fine print last summer.

“Children 14 years and under do not count against crew limitation. Sailboats racing with PHRF ODR (One Design Rating) rating certificates will have crew limitations as established by the national One Design class rules.”
