Gori 18x12x3LHS Folding Propeller – 3-Blade, Ø18", Pitch 12", Left-Hand, for Sail Drive
The Gori 18x12x3LHS is a high-performance 3-blade folding propeller designed specifically for sail drive systems. Introduced in 1994, this award-winning design earned the DAME and HISWA Awards for innovation and functionality in marine propulsion.
Key Features
- 3-blade folding propeller for sail drives
- Diameter: Ø18", Pitch: 12"
- Left-hand rotation (LHS)
- Low-drag profile when folded – increases speed under sail
- “Overdrive” function for dynamic pitch and profile control under power
- Exceptional thrust in both forward and reverse
- Reduces engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption
'Overdrive' Function
The Overdrive mode enables the helmsman to switch the blade pitch during forward motion for more efficient engine operation at lower RPMs. It reduces vibration and noise, improving comfort and economy. Control is achieved with a simple single-lever gear shift – no hydraulics or complex mechanics required.
Engine Compatibility
- Suitable for engines from 7 kW (10 hp) to 221 kW (300 hp)
- Ideal for sailing yachts and motor sailers using popular sail drives (Volvo-Penta, Yanmar, Bukh, Sonic, etc.)
Performance & Efficiency
- +15% improved efficiency in forward and reverse over rotary blade propellers
- Low drag profile validated by independent testing
- Prevents debris entanglement while sailing
- Eliminates need for shaft brake on hydraulic gearboxes
Construction & Quality
- Built from high-quality materials like Nibral and stainless steel
- Durable hub design with shock absorption and electrical isolation
- Numbered for quality assurance and future service
With over 25 years of proven performance, the Gori 18x12x3LHS folding propeller remains a top choice for yacht builders, designers, and competitive sailors worldwide.
