Note: The propeller shaft output becomes
95% of the engine rated output (continuous
rating at crankshaft) in consideration of me-
chanical efficiency 95% of the sail-drive.
(3) In the case of propeller calculation,
further add 5%, at minimum, as the
sea margin to the aforementioned
matching point. That is, 95% of the
propeller shaft rated output (Con-
tinuous rating at propeller shaft)
becomes the best propeller match-
ing. Note about sea margin: In actu-
al navigation, there is an increase
in resistance due to the waves,
wind and fouling of the hull and,
moreover, a drop in the efficiency
due to fouling of the propeller. Con-
sequently, in the case of propeller
calculation, it is necessary to allow
the engine output to have some
margin. For that reason, it is neces-
sary to add the sea margin of 5%, at
minimum.
