Hi,
Last time I sailed up the coast I picked up a cray pot rope on the propeller (sail drive). It was scary! (alone, at night, in 30knots). I was fortunate as a little reverse cleared it. I'm heading north again next month and it has been suggested that I run a wire from the bottom of the fin keel to the skeg. This would be well clear of the prop.
Does anyone have any experience of this and to what extent is it likely to impair the performance of the boat, in its own right or through the collection of weed etc..
Regards
Tony
