Gori 2-flg. Faltprop. 18x13x2R, 25mm ISO shaft
The Gori 2-blade folding propeller has a rich history, with the first propellers produced over 25 years ago. Continuous development has leveraged modern manufacturing technology and testing possibilities to enhance its performance.
Designed for sailing yachts with engines up to approximately 44 kW/60 hp, the 2-blade Gori folding propeller is available in 7 sizes ranging from 11.5” to 18” Ø for both shafts and sail drives. Choose between clockwise or counter-clockwise versions to suit your vessel's requirements.
Wing Synchronization
The wing shape with teeth ensures synchronous wing movement, minimizing vibrations during forward and backward propulsion. This results in a correct pitch setting and optimal conduction under motor power. When sailing, the wings automatically fold to reduce drag to a minimum.
Full Speed When Sailing
Under sail, the fixed-pitch propeller can significantly increase water resistance. Independent tests reveal that the 2-blade Gori folding propeller reduces water resistance by up to 35%, resulting in a speed increase of 1 knot under sail. The extent of this increase varies with boat length and displacement.
The shape of the folding propeller prevents seaweed, plastic bags, and other debris from clinging to it while sailing.
Full Power in Reverse
Independent tests demonstrate that the efficiency of the 2-blade Gori folding propeller is equal to or better than most 2- and 3-blade rotary or folding propellers. It provides optimum reverse thrust through a combination of shape and profile design of the propeller blades, along with centrifugal force. Unlike many other folding propellers, the Gori folding propeller doesn't solely rely on centrifugal force to open the wings.
Full Power When Driving Forward
Further independent tests confirm that the forward drive efficiency of the 2-blade Gori folding propeller exceeds that of most 2- and 3-blade rotary and folding propellers.
