Gori Propeller 18x11x3RH1:10W25 - Folding Propeller 18x11x3RH for 25mm ISO shaft
The introduction of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller in 1994 marked a significant milestone, earning prestigious awards like the DAME Award and HISWA Award for its innovative design. Representing a technological leap, this propeller caters to both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers, seamlessly combining the speed advantages under sail with the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor.
Thanks to the wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller, exceptional thrust is achieved both forward and backward, surpassing the performance of most other propellers and enhancing maneuvering capabilities. The unique "Overdrive" function allows the helmsman to adjust pitch and profile during forward movement, offering a new dimension to motorized driving without the need for delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.
Suitable for engines ranging from 10hp to 300hp, the Gori 3-bladed propeller breaks the tradition of folding propellers being limited to smaller vessels. Its special design minimizes noise and vibration, common issues with rotary blade propellers featuring flat blades.
Available in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations, the Gori folding propeller delivers a low profile when folded, resulting in the lowest drag among 3-blade folding and rotary blade propellers. Independent tests confirm a significant increase in boat speed under sail, adding overall value to your vessel.
The shape of the folding propeller prevents debris from catching on it during sailing, eliminating the need for a shaft brake with hydraulic gearboxes, thus ensuring the durability of the gearbox.
Performance tests conducted by leading yachting magazines and independent organizations reveal a remarkable efficiency advantage of the 3rd flg. Gori folding propeller, boasting higher efficiency in both advance (+15%) and reverse (+15%) compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers. This efficiency is attributed to the special curvature and rotation of the propeller blades, overcoming the under-powered thrust optimization limitation of rotary blade propellers with flat designs.
