my boat is kept in Port Vell marina, Barcelona. On 2 occasions now I have returned to her to find that the prop is locked in midway position by barnacles.....diving to free it in the marina is not all that pleasant......the little 'Bs' get into the cogs ......any ideas on how to cope....I have thought of leaving a plastic bag round it but that again requires a dive

Ahh, gori props!!!! Yes we spray a couple of coats of Sailcote to our gori and that works reasonably well. A friend swears by liberally applying rigging oil on his - both obviously done when the boat is out of the water!

Our main problems with Gori have been getting the Bl***y thing in overdrive (stopping the boat...going astern etc etc.). I don't think we would have another one.

Bon courage.
