Gori Propeller 12.5x8x2LHS-110SD - Folding Propeller 12.5x8 LHS for Volvo MD5A/110S
The Gori Faltprop. 12.5x8 LHS is a testament to over 25 years of continuous refinement in propeller technology. Initially introduced more than two decades ago, this folding propeller has evolved to leverage modern manufacturing techniques and testing capabilities, ensuring optimal performance for sailing yachts with engines up to approximately 44 kW/60 hp.
Available in 7 different sizes ranging from 11.5” to 18” Ø for both shafts and sail drives, the 2-blade Gori folding propeller offers versatility in its application, with clockwise and counter-clockwise versions to suit varying preferences.
Key Features:
- Blade synchronization with toothed wing shape for reduced vibrations and optimal pitch setting under motor.
- Automatic folding of wings under sail to minimize drag and increase sailing speed.
- Up to 35% reduction in water resistance, resulting in a potential 1-knot speed increase under sail.
- Prevents seaweed, plastic bags, and debris from clinging to the propeller while sailing.
- Optimal reverse thrust through a combination of shape and profile design, surpassing many 2- and 3-blade propellers.
- Efficiency in forward propulsion that exceeds most 2- and 3-blade rotary and folding propellers.
- Saildrive propeller designed for popular sail drives like Bukh, Sonic, Volvo-Penta, Yanmar, and more.
The Gori Saildrive Propeller features a flexible core in the hub for shock absorption and electrical isolation, meeting the requirements of engine manufacturers. A safety system in the hub enhances durability and ensures maneuverability at all times.
