The Gori Faltprop. 20x13x3LHS for Sail-Drive represents a pinnacle in sailing yacht propulsion, introduced in 1994 and celebrated with prestigious awards. Offering a technological leap, this 3-blade folding propeller caters to larger sailing yachts and motor sailors, seamlessly combining the speed advantages under sail with the powerful thrust under motor. With its unique "Overdrive" function, allowing pitch adjustments during forward movement, and superior maneuvering capabilities, it sets itself apart. Engineered for engines from 10hp to 300hp, it breaks the mold by providing efficiency, minimal noise, and vibration, addressing common issues in traditional rotary blade propellers. Its diverse size range and low profile when folded reduce drag, increasing boat speed under sail. The Gori propeller's tested efficiency surpasses other folding or rotary blade propellers, thanks to its special curvature and rotation. Additionally, the Saildrive Propeller variant, designed for compatibility with popular sail drives, adds flexibility and durability to this outstanding marine propulsion system.

Gori Faltprop. 20x13x3LHS for Sail-Drive

The Gori 3-blade folding propeller, launched in 1994 and honored with the DAME Award and HISWA Award, represents a significant leap in propeller technology for sailing yachts. Catering to larger sailing yachts and motor sailors, it combines the speed advantages of a folding propeller under sail with the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor.

The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller ensures excellent thrust both forward and backward, providing superior power and maneuvering capabilities compared to most other propellers. The unique "Overdrive" function allows the helmsman to adjust pitch and profile during forward movement, enhancing motorized driving without the need for delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.

Designed for engines ranging from 10hp to 300hp, the Gori 3-bladed propeller breaks the tradition of folding propellers being limited to smaller vessels. Its special design minimizes noise and vibration, common issues with rotary blade propellers with flat blades.

Available in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations, the Gori folding propeller delivers a low profile when folded, reducing drag and increasing boat speed under sail. The shape prevents debris from catching on it during sailing, eliminating the need for a shaft brake with hydraulic gearboxes.

Performance tests by leading yachting magazines reveal a significant efficiency advantage (+15%) in both forward and reverse compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers. This efficiency is attributed to the special curvature and rotation of the propeller blades, optimizing thrust where traditional rotary blade propellers fall short.

Saildrive Propellers

The hub of the Gori Saildrive Propeller features a flexible core that acts as a shock absorber and electrically isolates the propeller from the saildrive, as required by engine manufacturers. A safety system in the hub enhances durability and ensures maneuverability, making it compatible with popular sail drives such as Bukh, Sonic, Volvo-Penta, Yanmar, and others.
