That depends on what sailing boat you got, the engine and not least – your priorities!
A 2-blade propeller is more efficient than a 3-blade. Surprised? Well, most people are.
Thus, a properly sized 2-blade will give you a higher speed at a given RPM in flat water than a properly sized 3-blade. The 2-blade is also lower in drag and cheaper.
The 3-blade, because of its larger blade area, will accelerate the boat faster. This means a 3-blade is better around the docks, when powering against a head sea and when stopping.
