Gori Propeller 16.5x11x2LHx1:12W25SAE - 2-wing Folding Prop

The Gori 2-wing folding propeller has a rich history, with the first propellers produced over 25 years ago. Continuous development has harnessed modern manufacturing technology and testing capabilities to enhance its performance.

This 2-blade Gori folding propeller is designed for sailing yachts with engines up to approximately 44 kW/60 hp. Available in 7 sizes ranging from 11.5” to 18” Ø for shafts and sail drives, it can be supplied in both clockwise and counter-clockwise versions to suit different applications.

Wing Synchronization

The wing shape with teeth ensures a synchronous wing movement, minimizing vibrations when driving forwards and backwards. This design promotes correct pitch setting and optimal conduction under motor power. When sailing, the wings automatically fold, reducing drag to a minimum.

Full Speed When Sailing

Under sail, a fixed-pitch propeller can create more resistance than anticipated. Independent tests reveal that the 2-blade Gori folding propeller can reduce water resistance by up to 35%, resulting in a speed increase of 1 kn. under sail. The shape of the folding propeller prevents debris from clinging to it while sailing.

Full Power in Reverse

Tests demonstrate that the efficiency of the 2-blade Gori folding propeller is equal to or better than most 2- and 3-blade rotary or folding propellers. It delivers optimum reverse thrust through a combination of propeller blade shape, profile design, and centrifugal force. Unlike many other folding propellers, the Gori folding propeller utilizes centrifugal force along with a unique design to open the wings, ensuring full power in reverse.

Full Power When Driving Forward

Independent tests also highlight the forward drive efficiency of the 2-blade Gori folding propeller, surpassing that of most 2- and 3-blade rotary and folding propellers.
