The drag under sail would be less with the Autostream, also more responsive stopping and reversing at lower engine RPM results in more confident manoeuvrability when docking. Turbulence off the propeller under sail is significantly less with the Autostream, providing a cleaner flow of water to the rudder blade, resulting in a more sensitive feel at the tiller, critical when trying to sail a course close to the wind.
