Gori Propeller 18x14x3RHx1:10W30 - Folding Propeller 18x14x3RH for 30mm ISO shaft
The 3-blade Gori folding propeller was launched in 1994 and received the DAME Award and HISWA Award for the best new marine product.
The Gori folding propeller represents a significant technological advance in sailing yacht propulsion, providing both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers with the speed advantages of a folding propeller under sail, combined with the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor.
Featuring a wing curvature, the Gori folding propeller delivers excellent thrust ahead and backward, outperforming most other propellers in power and maneuvering properties.
'Overdrive' Function: The unique "Overdrive" function allows the helmsman to change the pitch and profile of the propeller when moving forward, enhancing motorized driving. Controlled via the boat's single lever shift, it operates without delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.
The "overdrive" is utilized under power in calm weather or when powering under sail, offering the same speed at lower revs, resulting in less engine noise, vibration, and reduced fuel consumption.
The Gori 3-blade folding propeller is suitable for engines ranging from 7kW (10hp) to 221kW (300hp), extending its benefits to larger vessels that were previously limited to lower engine power.
The propeller's special design minimizes noise and vibration, common issues with rotary blade propellers. Available in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations.
Advantage under Sail: The low profile when folded minimizes drag, proven by independent tests to increase boat speed under sail, enhancing the overall value of your boat. The shape prevents debris from getting caught and avoids propeller opening during sailing.
Performance under Engine: Tests by leading yachting magazines show significantly higher efficiency in both advance (+15%) and reverse (+15%) compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers, attributed to the special curvature and rotation of the blades.
Professional Quality: Gori Propeller, a leader in folding propeller design for over 25 years, emphasizes technical superiority with the 3rd bladed Gori folding propeller. Crafted from high-quality materials such as Nibral and stainless steel, it maintains a reputation for design, quality, and durability.
All Gori propellers are numbered for quality assurance and later service.
