Gori Propeller 18x14x2LHS - 2-Blade Folding Propeller 18x14x2LHS for Sail Drive

The legacy of Gori propellers, spanning over 25 years, showcases continuous development to harness the benefits of modern manufacturing technology. The 2-blade Gori folding propeller is tailored for sailing yachts with engines up to approximately 44 kW/60 hp, available in 7 sizes from 11.5” to 18” Ø for both shafts and sail drives, with options for clockwise or counter-clockwise versions.

Blade Synchronization

The innovative wing shape with toothing ensures synchronous movement, reducing vibrations during forward and reverse operations. This design optimizes pitch settings, ensuring optimal conduction under the motor, while automatically folding the wings during sailing to minimize drag.

Full Speed When Sailing

Surpassing traditional fixed-pitch propellers, the 2-blade Gori folding propeller significantly reduces water resistance, proven by independent tests to decrease up to 35%. This translates to a notable speed increase of 1 kn. under sail, varying with boat length and displacement. The propeller's shape also prevents debris from clinging to it while sailing.

Full Power in Reverse

Independent testing attests to the efficiency of the 2-blade Gori folding propeller, equaling or surpassing that of many 2- and 3-blade rotary or folding propellers. Optimal reverse thrust is achieved through a unique combination of shape and profile design, utilizing centrifugal force without relying solely on it to open the wings.

Full Power When Driving Forward

Further independent tests demonstrate the efficiency of the 2-blade Gori folding propeller in forward propulsion, surpassing that of many 2- and 3-blade rotary and folding propellers, ensuring full power when needed.

Saildrive Propeller

The Gori Saildrive Propeller's hub features a flexible core for shock absorption and electrical isolation from the saildrive, meeting engine manufacturers' requirements. A safety system enhances durability and maneuverability, designed for popular sail drives including Bukh, Sonic, Volvo-Penta (including 50S and 100S drives), Yanmar, and others.
