The Gori Propeller 18x11x3LHx1:10W30, a revolutionary 3-blade folding propeller introduced in 1994, has garnered prestigious awards for its innovative design. Offering unparalleled advantages for sailing yachts and motor sailers, it combines the speed benefits of a folding propeller under sail with the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor. With exceptional thrust capabilities in both forward and reverse due to its wing curvature, the propeller stands out for its "Overdrive" function, allowing pitch and profile adjustments during forward motion. Suitable for engines ranging from 7kW to 221kW, it breaks size limitations, catering to larger vessels. The propeller's unique design minimizes noise and vibration, offering a smooth sailing experience. Available in various diameters, it boasts a low profile when folded, reducing drag and increasing boat speed under sail. The Gori folding propeller, known for its professional quality and durability, continues to lead in the marine industry, preferred by top designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors, each numbered for quality assurance and future serviceability.

The 3-blade Gori folding propeller, introduced in 1994, garnered prestigious awards like the DAME Award and HISWA Award for its innovative design. Representing a significant leap in propeller development for sailing yachts, this propeller caters to both larger sailing vessels and motor sailers, offering the dual advantages of speed under sail and thrust under motor.

The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller ensures excellent thrust in both forward and reverse, providing superior power and maneuvering capabilities compared to most other propellers. Notably, the propeller features an "Overdrive" function, allowing the helmsman to adjust pitch and profile during forward motion, enhancing motorized driving without the need for complex hydraulics or mechanics.

The "Overdrive" function is particularly useful in calm weather or when sailing under power, offering reduced engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption at lower revs. Transitioning between "overdrive" and normal ahead is seamless, contributing to the unique maneuvering capabilities that set the Gori 3-blade folding propeller apart from others.

Designed for engines ranging from 7kW (10hp) to 221kW (300hp), this folding propeller breaks previous size limitations, extending its benefits to larger vessels. Its special design minimizes noise and vibration, common issues with rotary blade propellers, ensuring a smooth and quiet sailing experience.

The Gori folding propeller is available in diameters ranging from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations. Its low profile when folded reduces drag, as validated by independent tests, resulting in increased boat speed under sail and enhanced overall value. The unique shape prevents debris from getting caught during sailing, eliminating the need for a shaft brake with hydraulic gearboxes.

Performance tests by leading yachting magazines confirm the exceptional efficiency of the 3rd blade Gori folding propeller, boasting higher efficiency in advance (+15%) and reverse (+15%) compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers. Gori Propeller, a leader in design and development for over 25 years, emphasizes professional quality, utilizing high-quality materials like Nibral and stainless steel.

The Gori folding propeller maintains its leadership position, being the preferred choice for renowned designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors. Each Gori propeller is numbered for quality assurance and future serviceability, reinforcing its commitment to excellence.
