The Gori Propeller 18x14x3LHS is a revolutionary 3-blade folding propeller, introduced in 1994 and honored with both the DAME Award and HISWA Award. This propeller represents a significant leap in sailing yacht propulsion, offering a unique blend of speed advantages under sail and the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor. With an innovative "Overdrive" function, it allows for pitch and profile adjustments during motorized driving, contributing to reduced engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption. Suitable for engines ranging from 7kW to 221kW, it caters to a diverse range of vessels, including large sailing yachts and motor sailers. The propeller's low profile when folded minimizes drag, enhancing boat speed under sail, while its high efficiency, tested against other propellers, is attributed to the special curvature and rotation of the blades. Saildrive compatibility, professional quality using materials like Nibral and stainless steel, and over 25 years of market leadership make the Gori Propeller a preferred choice for designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors alike.
