Gori Propeller 16.5x13x2RHx1:10W25 - 2-Blade Folding Propeller 16.5x13x2R, 25mm ISO shaft
The legacy of Gori Propellers, spanning over 25 years, began with the production of the first propellers, evolving continuously to leverage modern manufacturing technology and testing capabilities. The 2-blade Gori folding propeller, designed for sailing yachts with engines up to approximately 44 kW/60 hp, comes in 7 versatile sizes, ranging from 11.5” to 18” Ø for shafts and sail drives, available in clockwise or counter-clockwise versions.
Wing synchronization is achieved through the wing shape with teeth, ensuring synchronous movement and minimizing vibrations during forward and backward maneuvers. This results in a precise pitch setting and optimal conduction under motor power. When sailing, the wings fold automatically, reducing drag to a minimum.
Under sail, the 2-blade Gori folding propeller outperforms fixed-pitch propellers by significantly reducing water resistance, as evidenced by independent tests showing up to a 35% reduction. This translates to a notable speed increase of 1 knot under sail, with the extent varying based on boat length and displacement. The propeller's design prevents entanglement with seaweed, plastic bags, and other debris during sailing.
Independent tests confirm that the efficiency of the 2-blade Gori folding propeller equals or surpasses that of most 2- and 3-blade rotary or folding propellers, providing optimal reverse thrust through a combination of shape and profile design along with centrifugal force. This distinguishes the Gori folding propeller, as it doesn't solely rely on centrifugal force to open the wings. Additionally, tests show superior forward drive efficiency compared to most 2- and 3-blade rotary and folding propellers.
