You might want to put this question in one of the other sections. with that in mind. Are you considering a folding/feathering prop over a fixed? Even if not racing, ANY boat will net some speed with a non fixed prop while sailing. Some of the feathering like my max prop will allow one to reverse better tha a fixed too.
The origanal owner of my Arcadia said when he went from a 2 blade fixed to the max prop he gained upwards of 1 knot of speed in any given condition. While I would assume with an attalia you are not doing multi day sails in a row, ie at sea, that is still 24 miles per 24 hrs you can go farther, which for some crossings, is removing a day or two if you are traveling more than 7-10 days.
