Gori Propeller 15x9x3 RHx1:10W30 - Folding Propeller 15x9x3RH for 30mm ISO shaft
The 3-blade Gori folding propeller, introduced in 1994 and recipient of the DAME Award and HISWA Award, represents a significant leap in marine innovation. Tailored for sailing yachts, it extends its technological prowess to larger vessels and motor sailers, offering the dual benefits of speed under sail and thrust with the fixed propeller under motor.
The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller excels in creating superior thrust in both forward and reverse, surpassing the performance of almost all other propellers. The innovative "Overdrive" function adds a new dimension to motorized driving, allowing the helmsman to dynamically adjust pitch and profile via the boat's single lever shift without the need for delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.
Suitable for engines ranging from 10hp to 300hp, this propeller breaks the convention of being reserved for smaller sailing yachts, now catering to engines over 300 hp. The special design minimizes noise and vibration commonly associated with rotary blade propellers. With diameters ranging from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations, it provides flexibility in installation.
Advantage under Sail: The low profile when folded minimizes drag, proven by independent tests, resulting in increased boat speed under sail. This enhancement in speed adds overall value to your boat, challenging the notion of sailing slowly.
The shape of the folding propeller prevents debris entanglement during sailing, and with hydraulic gearboxes, the expensive installation of a shaft brake can be avoided without compromising gearbox durability.
Performance under Engine: Tests by leading yachting magazines confirm a significant efficiency boost (+15%) in both forward and reverse compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers. This efficiency is attributed to the special curvature and rotation of the propeller blades, optimizing thrust even in under-powered conditions.
