Dear Gentlemen,
I'm following the discussion closely, very interesting learning from highly experienced and professional Boaters.
I'm referring VIGILANT from Glen Blue Print. According to the Note at Vigilant's product catalog the Propeller not more then 28 inch diameter (no Pitch mentioned). Come to the actual Blue Print and Boat's Plan, "the Propeller is 34 inch max dia". Checking from the Port Side drawing , the Skeg will end up 5 ft to the aft, the end tip of the Skeg is 3 ft 6 inch at vertical height, living less then 6 inches clearance from propeller end tips to the bottom of the boat.
Regards on the Pitch, Blue Print just mentioned "Pitch to Suit". From my opinion, by the discussion and through the experienced participants, finally we will dig out some clues. Thank you gentlemen, I'm following this valuable discussions closely, thank you
