Gori Propeller 18x14x3RHx1:10W25 - Folding Propeller 18x14x3RH for 25mm ISO shaft
Introduced in 1994, the 3-blade Gori folding propeller, distinguished by the DAME Award and HISWA Award, represents a significant leap in marine propulsion technology. Designed for sailing yachts and motor sailers, it seamlessly integrates the speed advantages of folding propellers under sail with the robust thrust of fixed propellers under motor.
The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller ensures exceptional thrust both ahead and astern, outperforming most other propellers and enhancing maneuvering capabilities. Its unique "Overdrive" function revolutionizes motorized driving, enabling the helmsman to adjust pitch and profile during forward movement without the need for delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.
Suitable for engines ranging from 10hp to 300hp, this propeller breaks traditional constraints by making folding propellers accessible for higher-powered engines over 300 hp. Its special design minimizes noise and vibration, addressing common issues with rotary blade propellers featuring flat blades.
Available in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations, the Gori folding propeller boasts a low profile when folded, reducing drag and increasing boat speed under sail. Independent tests confirm a significant increase in boat speed, enhancing the overall value of your vessel.
The unique shape of the folding propeller prevents debris from catching during sailing, eliminating the need for a shaft brake with hydraulic gearboxes and ensuring gearbox durability. Performance tests reveal a remarkable efficiency advantage of the 3rd flg. Gori folding propeller, boasting higher efficiency in both advance (+15%) and reverse (+15%) compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers. This efficiency is attributed to the special curvature and rotation of its propeller blades, overcoming the under-powered thrust optimization limitation of rotary blade propellers with flat designs.
