The Gori Propeller 18x13x3RHS-SD40-60 stands at the forefront of marine propulsion technology, introduced in 1994 and adorned with the prestigious DAME Award and HISWA Award. This 3-blade folding propeller represents a revolutionary leap in sailing yacht propulsion, offering both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers the dual benefits of enhanced speed under sail and robust thrust under motor. The propeller's wing curvature ensures exceptional forward and reverse power, distinguishing it from other propellers. The unique "Overdrive" function elevates motorized driving, allowing pitch and profile adjustments without complex mechanics. With suitability for engines ranging from 7kW to 221kW, including those over 300 hp, this propeller transcends previous limitations. Its special design minimizes noise and vibration, providing diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations. The low profile when folded minimizes drag, validated by independent tests for increased boat speed under sail, enhancing overall vessel value. Designed to prevent debris entanglement during sailing, the Gori propeller eliminates the need for a shaft brake with hydraulic gearboxes. Performance tests showcase remarkable efficiency gains in advance and reverse (+15%), attributed to the unique curvature and rotation of the propeller blades. The Gori Saildrive Propeller features a flexible core hub, acting as a shock absorber and ensuring compatibility with popular sail drives. With over 25 years of market leadership, Gori Propeller continues its technical lead, utilizing high-quality materials like Nibral and stainless steel. The propeller remains the preferred choice for leading designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors, each one numbered for quality assurance and future service reference.

Gori Propeller 18x13x3RHS-SD40-60 - Folding Propeller 18x13x3RHS for Sail Drive

The Gori 3-blade folding propeller, introduced in 1994 and recipient of the DAME Award and HISWA Award, represents a significant leap in sailing yacht propeller technology. Enabling larger sailing yachts and motor sailers to harness both the speed advantages under sail and the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor, the wing curvature of the propeller ensures superior thrust in both forward and reverse, setting it apart from other propellers.

The innovative "Overdrive" function redefines motorized driving, allowing the helmsman to change the pitch and profile effortlessly, controlled via the boat's single lever shift without the need for delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics. Used under power in calm weather or while powering under sail, "Overdrive" provides the same speed at lower revs, resulting in reduced engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption.

Suitable for engines from 7kW to 221kW, including those over 300 hp, the Gori folding propeller breaks the previous limitations for smaller vessels, offering special advantages for large sailing yachts and motor sailers. The special design minimizes noise and vibration, addressing common issues with rotary blade propellers, and is available in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations.

With a low profile when folded, the Gori propeller exhibits the lowest drag among 3-blade folding and rotary blade propellers, confirmed by independent tests to increase boat speed under sail, enhancing the overall value of your boat. The propeller's shape prevents debris entanglement during sailing, eliminating the need for a shaft brake with hydraulic gearboxes.

Performance tests demonstrate a significant efficiency increase in both advance and reverse (+15%) compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers, attributed to the unique curvature and rotation of the propeller blades. The Gori Saildrive Propeller features a hub with a flexible core, acting as a shock absorber and electrically isolating the propeller from the saildrive, designed for popular sail drives such as Bukh, Sonic, Volvo-Penta, Yanmar, and more.

As the market leader in design and development for over 25 years, Gori Propeller maintains its technical lead with the 3rd bladed Gori folding propeller, utilizing only high-quality materials like Nibral and stainless steel. A preferred choice for leading designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors, each Gori propeller is numbered for quality assurance and future service.
