Darglow Feathertream Propeller: This expensive three-blade propeller  aligns itself with the flow of the water when the engino is not pulling  either forward or reverse. No more propeller drag. No "clunk" when  ehgaging the engine. Superb performance in both forward and reverse.  This is the only feathering or folding prop in the world that will fit  the Flicka aperture without any modification. To my knowledge Jubilee is  the only Flicka in the USA to have one. It is 12 X 10. A standard  3-blade, that I bought and used a few times in 2008 also comes with the  boat as well as its original 2-blade that I deemed inadequate for the  tides in SC. Cost of the Featherstream was about $1,500.




Selden Extendable Bowsprit:
With the development and popularity of  gennakers came the popularily of an extendable bowsprit. On the Flicka,  without such an item there is not enough space between the forestay and  the gennaker to jibe easily. With this sprit extension, not only can one  jibe with ease; you can also carry the jib or genoa and-or the staysail  at the same time as the gennaker. This was a $400 kit. It takes seconds  to extend it or retract it or take it completely off the boat. I love t  for additional performance in light air.
