Elegant. Sculpted. Powerful. Even more powerful performance. Our folding props deliver unparalleled performance, matching and bettering fixed two-blade props. Since1964 we have continually refined and upgraded the Martec folding prop.

We have redefined the concept of low-drag sailboat propellers, creating a family of folding, feathering and fixed blade props. We've literally changed the expectations for sailboat auxiliary power and sailing performance. Today, Martecs power both maxi sleds and hardcore world cruisers. We've been around the world in the Whitbread, and we're even found on auxilliary/emergency wing engines aboard large ocean-crossing poweryachts. Anywhere at sea where performance is important... you'll find a Martec prop.

Our Mark III is the third generation of Martec folding props. And it%u2019s the lowest drag sailboat propeller anywhere. Thirty years of continuous development and improvement has resulted in a folding propeller with the lowest drag under sail. It%u2019s absolute simplicity insures maximum reliability. And the proof is in the use: the Mark III is the most widely sold, widely used low drag prop of the last thirtyfive years.

It%u2019s unique blade shape provides reverse performance comparable to a fixed, two blade prop. Originally developed for IOR racing boats, the Mark III both reduces drag and improves reverse thrust. The Mark III fulfills all its design goals%u2026 and then some.
