Gori Propeller 20x13x3RHx1:10W35 - Folding Propeller 20x13x3RH for 35mm ISO Shaft
The 3-blade Gori folding propeller, launched in 1994, earned acclaim with the DAME Award and HISWA Award, standing as a pinnacle in marine propulsion innovation. A technological leap for sailing yachts, it enables larger vessels to harness the speed advantages under sail and the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor.
The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller excels in providing excellent forward thrust and reversible power, surpassing most other propellers in power and maneuverability. Its exclusive "Overdrive" function allows the helmsman to adjust pitch and profile effortlessly during forward movement, enhancing motorized driving without the need for delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.
Suitable for engines ranging from 7kW (10hp) to 221kW (300hp), this folding propeller breaks traditional size limitations, catering to engines over 300hp. Crafted with precision, it minimizes noise and vibration issues commonly found in rotary blade propellers. Available in diameters 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.
