The Gori Propeller 18x13x3LHS-SD40-60, a revolutionary folding propeller introduced to the market in 1994, stands as a beacon of technological excellence, having secured both the DAME Award and HISWA Award as the best new marine product in the same year. Representing a significant advancement in sailing yacht propeller development, this 3-bladed folding propeller enables both larger sailing yachts and motor sailors to harness the speed advantages of a folding propeller under sail, coupled with the thrust of a fixed propeller under engine power.

Highlighted by its unique wing curvature, the Gori folding propeller generates exceptional forward thrust, and its ability to rotate the blades allows for equivalent force in reverse, providing enhanced power and superior maneuvering capabilities compared to most other propellers. The inclusion of the innovative "overdrive" function offers a new dimension in power, allowing the helmsman to adjust the pitch and profile of the propeller while moving forward, resulting in reduced engine noise, vibrations, and fuel consumption.

Suitable for engines ranging from 7kW (10HP) to 221kW (300HP), the Gori 3-bladed folding propeller is a versatile choice, breaking the convention of being reserved for smaller vessels. Crafted with a flexible core and equipped with a shock-absorbing hub, the Saildrive version ensures electric isolation and longevity. The low profile when folded minimizes resistance, enhancing boat speed under sail, and preventing debris from adhering to the propeller during navigation.

Performance tests conducted by leading yachting magazines and independent organizations affirm the superior efficiency of the Gori 3-bladed folding propeller, boasting a remarkable increase in forward (+15%) and reverse (+15%) thrust compared to other folding or rotary wing propellers. The Gori Saildrive propeller is designed to accommodate popular saildrives, including those from Bukh, Sonic, Volvo-Penta, Yanmar, and others.

Gori Propeller, a market leader for over 25 years, maintains its reputation for professional quality, utilizing materials such as Nibral and stainless steel. Numbered for quality assurance and future service, all Gori propellers, including the 18x13x3LHS-SD40-60, embody the pinnacle of design, quality, and durability, making them the first choice for leading designers, yacht shipyards, and regatta sailors.
