Gori Propeller 16.5x11x3LHx1:10W25 - Folding Prop
The Gori 3-blade folding propeller, with dimensions of 16.5x11x3LH for a 25mm ISO shaft, revolutionized marine propulsion since its launch in 1994. Recognized with the DAME Award and HISWA Award, it represents a significant leap in propeller technology for sailing yachts. It caters not only to larger sailing yachts but also to motor sailers, offering the dual advantage of speed under sail and thrust under motor with its innovative wing curvature.
'Overdrive' Function
The unique "Overdrive" function sets the Gori propeller apart, allowing the helmsman to dynamically adjust pitch and profile without intricate hydraulics. Ideal for calm weather or sail-powered motoring, "overdrive" achieves the same speed at lower revs, reducing engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption. The process is intuitive, switching seamlessly between forward and reverse for optimal maneuvering.
Suitable for a Range of Engines
Catering to engines from 7kW (10hp) to 221kW (300hp), the Gori folding propeller breaks the tradition of being reserved for smaller yachts, now extending its advantages to larger vessels over 300 hp.
Advantage Under Sail
The low-profile design when folded minimizes drag, as confirmed by independent tests, resulting in increased boat speed under sail. The folding shape prevents debris entanglement, eliminating the need for a shaft brake in hydraulic gearboxes.
Performance Under Engine
Leading yachting magazines and independent organizations attest to the superior efficiency of the Gori 3-blade folding propeller, showcasing a remarkable increase of +15% in both advance and reverse compared to other propellers. The special curvature and rotation of the blades optimize thrust, addressing noise and vibration issues associated with flat-blade designs.
Professional Quality and Enduring Leadership
Gori Propeller, a leader in folding propeller design for over 25 years, emphasizes professional quality with its 3rd-bladed folding propeller. Crafted from high-quality materials like Nibral and stainless steel, Gori maintains its leadership in design, quality, and durability. Preferred by renowned designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors, each Gori propeller is numbered for quality assurance and future service needs.
