Gori 2-flg. Faltprop. 13x9x2R, 22mm ISO shaft
With a legacy spanning over 25 years, the Gori folding propeller emerges as a pinnacle of innovation, continuously evolving to harness the benefits of modern manufacturing technology and testing capabilities. Tailored for sailing yachts with engines up to approximately 44 kW/60 hp, this 2-blade marvel is available in seven sizes, ranging from 11.5” to 18” Ø for both shafts and sail drives, offering versatility with options for clockwise or counter-clockwise versions.
Wing synchronization is a key feature, achieved through a wing shape with teeth, ensuring a synchronous movement that minimizes vibrations during forward and backward maneuvers. This results in precise pitch settings and optimal conduction under motor power, while the automatic folding of wings during sailing reduces drag to a minimum.
Under sail, the Gori folding propeller outperforms fixed-pitch counterparts, with independent tests revealing a remarkable up to 35% reduction in water resistance. This translates to a noteworthy speed increase of 1 knot, varying based on boat length and displacement. The propeller's design prevents entanglement with seaweed, plastic bags, and other debris during sailing.
Independent tests confirm the efficiency of the 2-blade Gori folding propeller, equaling or surpassing that of most 2- and 3-blade rotary or folding propellers. The propeller provides optimal reverse thrust through a unique combination of shape, profile design, and centrifugal force, distinguishing it from other folding propellers that rely solely on centrifugal force to open the wings. Furthermore, tests highlight superior forward drive efficiency compared to most 2- and 3-blade rotary and folding propellers.
