A Cleaver is a propeller design especially used for boat racing. Its leading edge is formed round, while the trailing edge is cut straight. It provides few bow lift, so that it can be used on boats that don't need much bow lift, for instance Hydroplanes, that naturally have enough aerodynamic bow lift.
