Gearboxes and propellers delivered
Report and pictures by David Elms
Balmorals' new gearboxes and propellers were delivered on April 10th. The propellers, made in Singapore and shipped to Felixstowe, are very different to the originals, the blades being somewhat "sickle" shaped. They are designed for optimal efficiency over a wide speed range, and quiet running, and bear slight similarities to those of military submarines.
