Gori Propeller 16.5x11x2LHx1:10W25 - 2-wing Folding Propeller
The Gori Propeller 16.5x11x2LHx1:10W25 is a highly advanced 2-blade folding propeller designed for sailing yachts with engines up to approximately 44 kW/60 hp. Boasting over 25 years of continuous development, this propeller has evolved to leverage modern manufacturing technology and rigorous testing methodologies.
Featuring a range of sizes from 11.5” to 18” in diameter, suitable for both shafts and sail drives, the Gori 2-blade folding propeller offers versatility with options for clockwise or counter-clockwise versions. The wing synchronization mechanism, characterized by toothed wing shapes, ensures a smooth and vibration-minimized operation in both forward and reverse motions, providing optimal pitch setting and conduction under motor power. When sailing, the automatic folding of wings minimizes drag, enhancing overall performance.
Under sail, this propeller's innovation shines as it significantly reduces water resistance, as demonstrated by independent tests showing up to a 35% decrease in resistance. This translates to a notable speed increase of up to 1 knot, a variation dependent on boat length and displacement. The design of the folding propeller effectively prevents debris such as seaweed and plastic bags from impeding its function while sailing.
For propulsion in reverse, the 2-blade Gori folding propeller exhibits efficiency equal to or surpassing most 2- and 3-blade rotary or folding propellers. The propeller achieves optimum reverse thrust through a unique combination of shape and profile design, coupled with centrifugal force. This distinguishes it from other folding propellers that rely solely on centrifugal force to open the wings.
Independent tests further confirm the exceptional forward drive efficiency of the 2-blade Gori folding propeller, surpassing the performance of many 2- and 3-blade rotary and folding propellers. Choose the Gori Propeller 16.5x11x2LHx1:10W25 for an unparalleled blend of innovation, efficiency, and performance in your sailing endeavors.
