Gori Propeller 15x9x3LHx1:10W25 - Folding Prop
The Gori Propeller 15x9x3LHx1:10W25, a 3-blade folding propeller, revolutionizes marine propulsion with its innovative design. Introduced in 1994, it quickly earned industry acclaim, receiving both the DAME Award and HISWA Award for the best new marine product.
This folding propeller represents a significant technological leap in the development of propellers for sailing yachts, catering to both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers. It seamlessly combines the speed advantages under sail with the thrust of the fixed propeller under motor, thanks to the wing curvature that generates excellent thrust in both forward and reverse directions.
'Overdrive' Function
The unique "Overdrive" function gives motorized driving a new dimension, allowing the helmsman to change the pitch and profile of the propeller when moving forward. Controlled via the boat's single lever shift, this function operates without delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics. Ideal for calm weather or powering under sail, "overdrive" provides the same speed at lower revs, resulting in less engine noise, vibration, and reduced fuel consumption.
The process is straightforward—shift to reverse via idle, move the ship clearly backward, then switch back to ahead. Returning from "overdrive" to normal ahead involves shifting gears to neutral, propeller folding, and shifting back to ahead. This unique function, along with propeller turning during maneuvering, distinguishes the Gori 3-blade folding propeller from all others.
Suitable for Engines
Folding propellers, once reserved for small and medium-sized sailing yachts, are now available for engines over 300 hp. Large sailing yachts and motor sailers can harness the special advantages of the Gori 3-bladed propeller, known for its minimum noise and vibration.
Advantage Under Sail
The low profile when folded minimizes drag, as proven by independent tests, resulting in increased boat speed under sail. This enhancement in speed adds overall value to your boat, while the folding propeller's shape prevents debris entanglement and ensures optimal performance even with hydraulic gearboxes, eliminating the need for a shaft brake.
Performance Under Engine
Leading yachting magazines and independent organizations confirm the 3rd flg. Gori folding propeller's significantly higher efficiency in both advance (+15%) and reverse (+15%) compared to other propellers. This efficiency results from the special curvature and rotation of the propeller blades, optimizing under-powered thrust that may not be achieved with flat-bladed propellers.
Professional Quality
Gori Propeller has been the leader in folding propeller design and development for over 25 years. The 3rd-bladed Gori folding propeller underlines the technical lead in this area, using only high-quality materials such as Nibral and stainless steel.
Gori Propeller has maintained its leadership in design, quality, and durability for over 25 years. It is the first choice for an increasing number of leading designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors. Each Gori propeller is numbered for quality assurance and future service.
