Gori 18x12x3LHS-SD40-60 Folding Propeller – 3-Blade, Ø18", Pitch 12", Left-Hand, for SD 50 Sail Drive
The Gori 18x12x3LHS-SD40-60 is a high-performance 3-blade folding propeller engineered for SD 50 sail drives. Introduced in 1994 and honored with the DAME and HISWA Awards, this propeller delivers both the speed benefits under sail and the powerful thrust under motor operation.
Key Features
- 3-blade folding design for SD 50 sail drive systems
- Diameter: Ø18", Pitch: 12"
- Left-hand rotation (LHS)
- Overdrive function for pitch and profile adjustment underway
- Minimized drag when folded – enhances boat speed under sail
- Exceptional thrust and maneuverability in both forward and reverse
- Low noise, low vibration operation
Overdrive Function
Gori’s patented Overdrive mode allows dynamic pitch change during forward motion using the boat’s existing single lever shift. This enables operation at lower RPMs while maintaining speed, reducing fuel consumption, noise, and vibration.
Engine Compatibility
- For engines from 7 kW (10 hp) to 221 kW (300 hp)
- Supports high-powered saildrives exceeding 300 hp
Performance & Durability
- +15% efficiency improvement forward and reverse (independently tested)
- Debris-resistant shape – prevents seaweed and plastic from fouling
- No need for shaft brake on hydraulic gearboxes
- Constructed from marine-grade materials (Nibral, stainless steel)
Saildrive Specifics
- Compatible with Bukh, Sonic, Volvo-Penta (including 50S, 100S), Yanmar, and more
- Flexible core hub electrically isolates propeller from saildrive
- Built-in safety system ensures continuous maneuverability
With proven efficiency and robust design, the Gori 18x12x3LHS-SD40-60 is a preferred solution among yacht designers, builders, and sailors seeking superior performance from their saildrive propulsion systems.
