Gori Propeller 16.5x13x2LHx1:10W25 - 2-Wing Folding Propeller 16.5x13x2L, 25mm ISO Shaft
With a legacy spanning more than 25 years, the Gori Propeller 16.5x13x2LHx1:10W25 represents the culmination of continuous development, harnessing modern manufacturing technology and testing capabilities. Tailored for sailing yachts with engines up to approximately 44 kW/60 hp, this 2-blade folding propeller is available in seven sizes, ranging from 11.5" to 18" in diameter, suitable for both shafts and sail drives. It offers versatility with clockwise or counter-clockwise versions to meet specific requirements.
Designed with wing synchronization, the propeller's teeth-shaped wings ensure a harmonized movement, minimizing vibrations during forward and reverse propulsion. This results in accurate pitch settings and optimal conduction under motor power. During sailing, the wings automatically fold, reducing drag to a minimum and allowing the yacht to maintain full speed.
Under sail, the 2-blade Gori folding propeller proves its efficiency by significantly reducing water resistance, as demonstrated in independent tests—up to 35% in certain cases—leading to a notable speed increase of 1 knot. The unique propeller shape prevents seaweed, plastic bags, and debris from adhering to it while sailing.
Backed by independent tests, the 2-blade Gori folding propeller exhibits equal or superior efficiency in both forward and reverse compared to most 2- and 3-blade rotary or folding propellers. Its design ensures optimal reverse thrust through a combination of shape and profile, utilizing centrifugal force without relying solely on it to open the wings. In forward motion, the propeller surpasses the efficiency of its counterparts, contributing to a powerful and efficient sailing experience.
