The Gori Propeller 16.5x12x3LHS is a revolutionary folding propeller designed for Sail Drive systems, boasting a remarkable history since its 1994 launch, crowned with the DAME Award and HISWA Award. Offering a technological leap for sailing yachts, this 3-blade propeller combines speed advantages under sail with the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor. With a unique "Overdrive" function for pitch and profile control, it enhances efficiency, reduces noise, vibration, and fuel consumption. Suitable for a wide engine power range (7kW to 221kW), its design minimizes noise and vibration, ensuring durability and maneuverability. The propeller's low profile when folded reduces drag, contributing to increased boat speed under sail. Crafted with high-quality materials, including Nibral and stainless steel, the Gori folding propeller stands as a pinnacle of design, quality, and durability in the marine industry. Its versatility extends to sail drives from popular manufacturers, making it the preferred choice for designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors for over 25 years. Each propeller is numbered, providing quality assurance and facilitating future serviceability.
