Gori Propeller 18x15x3LHS-SD40-60 - Folding Propeller for Sail Drive

Experience cutting-edge propulsion technology with the Gori Propeller 18x15x3LHS-SD40-60. Launched in 1994, this 3-blade folding propeller has earned acclaim, receiving the DAME Award and HISWA Award for Best New Marine Product. A technological marvel, it revolutionizes propellers for sailing yachts, providing larger sailing vessels and motor sailers with the dual benefits of enhanced speed under sail and reliable thrust under motor.

Featuring a unique wing curvature, the 3-blade Gori folding propeller excels in generating exceptional thrust both forward and backward, delivering superior power and maneuvering capabilities compared to its counterparts. The "Overdrive" function adds a new dimension to motorized driving, allowing the helmsman to adjust pitch and profile effortlessly, resulting in reduced engine noise, vibration, and enhanced fuel efficiency.

Suitable for engines ranging from 7kW (10hp) to 221kW (300hp), this folding propeller breaks barriers by extending its advantages to engines over 300 hp. Crafted with precision, the special design minimizes noise and vibration, common issues with flat-bladed rotary propellers. Available in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations, it adapts seamlessly to diverse yacht setups.

Benefit from the low profile when folded, minimizing drag and increasing boat speed under sail. The shape of the propeller prevents entanglement with seaweed and debris during sailing, eliminating the need for a shaft brake in hydraulic gearboxes. Rigorous tests by leading yachting magazines confirm its higher efficiency in both forward and reverse compared to other propellers, thanks to the special curvature and rotation of the blades.

The Gori Saildrive Propeller boasts a hub with a flexible core, acting as a shock absorber and ensuring electrical isolation from the saildrive. Designed for popular sail drives like Bukh, Sonic, Volvo-Penta, Yanmar, and others, it prioritizes durability and maneuverability. With over 25 years of market leadership in design and development, Gori Propeller remains the top choice for leading designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors, standing as a testament to professional quality.

All Gori propellers are numbered for quality assurance and future serviceability, ensuring a reliable and enduring investment for discerning maritime enthusiasts.
