The Gori 2-blade folding propeller, with a legacy spanning over 25 years, represents a culmination of continuous development in propeller technology. Designed for sailing yachts with engines up to 44 kW/60 hp, it comes in seven sizes suitable for various shafts and sail drives, offering clockwise and counter-clockwise options. Its wing synchronization minimizes vibrations during propulsion, ensuring correct pitch and optimal performance under motor power. Notably, this folding propeller enhances sailing speed by reducing water resistance, with independent tests showing a potential 35% decrease in drag. It excels in both reverse and forward drive efficiency, surpassing many 2- and 3-blade rotary or folding propellers. The innovative design prevents debris accumulation during sailing, making the Gori folding propeller a reliable choice for optimal marine performance.

The Gori 2-blade folding propeller has a rich history, with the first propellers being crafted over 25 years ago. Over time, it has undergone continuous development, leveraging modern manufacturing technology and advanced testing methods.

Designed for sailing yachts with engines up to approximately 44 kW/60 hp, this propeller is available in 7 sizes ranging from 11.5” to 18” Ø, suitable for both shafts and sail drives. It offers options for both clockwise and counter-clockwise rotations.

Wing Synchronization

The wing shape with teeth ensures a synchronous wing movement, minimizing vibrations during forward and backward propulsion. This results in a correct pitch setting and optimal conduction under motor power. When sailing, the wings automatically fold to reduce drag to a minimum.

Full Speed When Sailing

Under sail, traditional fixed-pitch propellers create more drag than often realized. Independent tests reveal that the 2-blade Gori folding propeller can reduce a yacht's water resistance by up to 35%, leading to a speed increase of 1 knot under sail. The actual speed gain may vary based on boat length and displacement. Additionally, the folding propeller's shape prevents debris like seaweed and plastic bags from clinging to it while sailing.

Full Power in Reverse

Independent tests demonstrate that the efficiency of the 2-blade Gori folding propeller matches or surpasses that of most 2- and 3-blade rotary or folding propellers. It provides optimum reverse thrust through a combination of shape and profile design of the propeller blades, coupled with centrifugal force. Unlike many other folding propellers, the Gori folding propeller doesn't solely rely on centrifugal force to open the wings.

Full Power When Driving Forward

Further independent tests highlight that the forward drive efficiency of the 2-blade Gori folding propeller exceeds that of most 2- and 3-blade rotary and folding propellers.
