The Gori Propeller 20x14x3LHS stands as a pioneering solution in marine propulsion since its 1994 launch, earning acclaim with the DAME Award and HISWA Award. This 3-blade folding propeller represents a technological leap, enabling larger sailing yachts and motor sailers to seamlessly blend the speed advantages of a folding propeller under sail with the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor. With a unique wing curvature, it delivers exceptional thrust in both forward and reverse, surpassing other propellers in power and maneuverability. The revolutionary "Overdrive" function allows pitch and profile adjustments during forward movement, enhancing motorized driving without relying on complex mechanics or hydraulics. Suitable for engines from 7kW to 221kW, it breaks the traditional size limitations of folding propellers, now catering to engines over 300hp. Crafted with precision from high-quality materials like Nibral and stainless steel, the Gori folding propeller ensures minimal noise and vibration, addressing common issues with flat-bladed rotary propellers. Its low profile when folded reduces drag, leading to increased boat speed under sail and heightened overall boat value. The inclusion of Saildrive Propellers further extends its versatility, designed for popular sail drives with a focus on safety and durability. Gori Propeller's steadfast commitment to professional quality, evident in its 25-year leadership, positions the 3-blade Gori folding propeller as the preferred choice for leading designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors, each meticulously numbered for quality assurance and future service.

Gori Propeller 20x14x3LHS - Folding Propeller 20x14x3LHS for Sail Drive

The Gori 3-blade folding propeller, introduced in 1994, earned acclaim with the DAME Award and HISWA Award for its groundbreaking design. Representing a leap forward in marine propulsion for sailing yachts, it caters to both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers, offering the advantages of a folding propeller under sail and the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor.

The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller delivers excellent forward thrust and reversible power, providing enhanced maneuvering properties compared to other propellers. Its unique "Overdrive" function allows the helmsman to adjust pitch and profile without complex mechanics or hydraulics, offering a new dimension in motorized driving. This function, utilized in calm weather or under sail, reduces engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption.

Suitable for engines ranging from 7kW (10hp) to 221kW (300hp), the Gori folding propeller breaks the tradition of being reserved for smaller vessels, now extending its benefits to engines over 300hp. Crafted with a special design, it minimizes noise and vibration commonly associated with flat-bladed rotary propellers.

Available in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations, the Gori folding propeller's low profile when folded reduces drag, resulting in increased boat speed under sail and enhanced overall boat value. Its unique shape prevents debris entanglement and eliminates the need for a shaft brake in hydraulic gearboxes.

Saildrive Propellers

The Gori Saildrive Propeller features a flexible core in the hub that acts as a shock absorber, electrically isolating the propeller from the saildrive as required by engine manufacturers. With a safety system ensuring durability and maneuverability, it is designed for popular sail drives including Bukh, Sonic, Volvo-Penta, Yanmar, and others.
