The Gori Propeller 18x12x3LHS for Sail-Drive is a cutting-edge 3-blade folding propeller that revolutionized marine propulsion upon its debut in 1994, earning prestigious awards for its innovative design. This propeller represents a technological leap, offering both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers the dual benefits of increased speed under sail, facilitated by the low drag profile when folded, and robust thrust from the fixed propeller configuration when operating under motor power. The unique 'Overdrive' function allows for dynamic pitch and profile adjustments, enhancing maneuverability without the need for intricate hydraulic systems. Suitable for engines ranging from 7kW to 221kW, this propeller is crafted with precision using high-quality materials, ensuring durability, reduced noise, and increased efficiency in both forward and reverse directions. Gori Propeller's leadership in design, quality, and durability is underscored by over 25 years of industry acclaim, making it the preferred choice for leading designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors.

Gori Propeller 18x12x3LHS - Folding Propeller

The Gori Faltprop. 18x12x3LHS for Sail-Drive is a groundbreaking 3-blade folding propeller introduced in 1994, earning accolades such as the DAME Award and HISWA Award for its innovative design and functionality.

This propeller represents a significant leap in the evolution of propellers for sailing yachts, offering both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers the advantage of enhanced speed under sail, coupled with the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor propulsion.

The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller ensures outstanding thrust in both forward and reverse directions, providing superior power and maneuvering capabilities compared to most other propellers.

'Overdrive' Function

The "Overdrive" function of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller introduces a new dimension to motorized driving. Helmsmen can dynamically adjust the pitch and profile of the propeller while moving forward, controlled seamlessly via the boat's single lever shift without relying on delicate hydraulics or complex mechanics.

The "overdrive" function is particularly useful under power in calm weather or when powering under sail, offering the same speed at lower revs, resulting in reduced engine noise, less vibration, and lower fuel consumption.
