Gori 2 Blade Folding Propeller 16.5x11x2R 30mm 1:10 ISO Shaft

Gori Propeller 16.5X11x2RHx1:10W30 - 2-wing Folding Propeller 16.5x11x2R, 30mm ISO Shaft

The Gori 2-blade folding propeller, in the dimensions of 16.5X11x2RHx1:10W30, is a culmination of over 25 years of continuous development, leveraging modern manufacturing technology and testing capabilities.

Suitable for sailing yachts with engines up to approximately 44 kW/60 hp, this folding propeller is available in 7 sizes ranging from 11.5” to 18” Ø for both shafts and sail drives, offering options in both clockwise and counter-clockwise versions for versatility.

Featuring wing synchronization with teeth, the propeller ensures a synchronous wing movement, minimizing vibrations during forward and reverse drives. This design ensures correct pitch settings and optimal conduction under motor power, while the wings automatically fold during sailing to reduce drag to a minimum.

Unlocking full sailing speed potential, the 2-blade Gori folding propeller minimizes water resistance by up to 35%, as demonstrated in independent tests. This results in a notable speed increase of 1 knot under sail, with the actual improvement varying based on boat length and displacement. The propeller's design also prevents seaweed, plastic bags, and other debris from clinging to it during sailing.

In reverse, the efficiency of the 2-blade Gori folding propeller matches or surpasses that of most 2- and 3-blade rotary or folding propellers. The propeller provides optimum reverse thrust through a combination of shape and profile design of the blades along with centrifugal force, setting it apart from propellers relying solely on centrifugal force to open the wings.

Forward drive efficiency is a standout feature, as independent tests reveal that the 2-blade Gori folding propeller exceeds the performance of most 2- and 3-blade rotary and folding propellers in this regard.
