The Gori Propeller 18x14x3RHx1:10W40, a cutting-edge 3-blade folding propeller introduced in 1994 and honored with the DAME Award and HISWA Award, represents a pinnacle in marine propulsion technology. Initially designed for sailing yachts, it extends its advantages to larger vessels, seamlessly integrating the speed benefits under sail with the powerful thrust of a fixed propeller under motor. With its distinct wing curvature, the propeller excels in both forward and reverse, surpassing most counterparts in power and maneuverability. The exclusive "Overdrive" function adds a new dimension to motorized driving, allowing pitch and profile adjustments effortlessly. Suitable for engines from 7kW to 221kW, it breaks size barriers, catering even to engines over 300hp. Crafted with precision to minimize noise and vibration, it offers diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations. Its low profile when folded minimizes drag, enhancing boat speed under sail, while its unique shape prevents debris entanglement during sailing. Tests affirm its superior efficiency in both advance and reverse, solidifying Gori Propeller's 25-year leadership in design, quality, and durability. Renowned for using high-quality materials like Nibral and stainless steel, the Gori folding propeller stands as the preferred choice for leading designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors, each meticulously numbered for quality assurance and future service.

Gori Propeller 18x14x3RHx1:10W40 - Folding Propeller 18x14x3RH for 40mm ISO Shaft

The 3-blade Gori folding propeller, introduced in 1994, achieved acclaim with the DAME Award and HISWA Award, marking a significant leap in marine propulsion technology. Tailored for sailing yachts, it extends its benefits to larger vessels, seamlessly combining the speed advantages under sail with the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor.

With its distinctive wing curvature, the 3-blade Gori folding propeller excels in providing excellent forward thrust and reversible power, outperforming almost all other propellers in power and maneuverability. The exclusive "Overdrive" function redefines motorized driving, allowing the helmsman to adjust pitch and profile effortlessly during forward movement without the need for delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.

Suitable for engines ranging from 7kW (10hp) to 221kW (300hp), this folding propeller breaks size limitations, making it available for engines over 300hp. Crafted with precision, it minimizes noise and vibration issues commonly found in rotary blade propellers. With diameters ranging from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations, its low profile when folded ensures the lowest drag among 3-blade folding and rotary blade propellers, resulting in increased boat speed under sail and elevated overall boat value.

Advantage under Sail

The unique shape of the folding propeller prevents entanglement with seaweed, plastic bags, and debris during sailing, eliminating the need for a shaft brake in hydraulic gearboxes. Independent tests confirm its superior efficiency, contributing to an overall increase in boat speed under sail.

Performance under Engine

Tests by leading yachting magazines demonstrate a significant efficiency increase (+15%) in both advance and reverse compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers. This high level of efficiency is attributed to the special curvature and rotation of the propeller blades, optimizing thrust even at lower power levels.

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 remains the top choice for leading designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors. Each Gori propeller is numbered for quality assurance and future service.
