Gori Propeller 20x14x3LHx1:10W30 - Folding Propeller 20x14x3LH for 30mm ISO shaft
The 3-blade Gori folding propeller, introduced in 1994, received both the DAME Award and HISWA Award for the best new marine product in the same year. Representing a significant leap in propeller development for sailing yachts, it empowers larger sailing yachts and motor sailers with the dual benefits of speed under sail and thrust under motor.
The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller generates exceptional thrust both forward and backward, providing superior power and maneuvering capabilities compared to other propellers. The unique "Overdrive" function enhances motorized driving, allowing the helmsman to adjust pitch and profile without intricate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.
Suitable for engines ranging from 10hp to 300hp, the Gori propeller breaks previous constraints, making folding propellers available for engines over 300 hp. The special design minimizes noise and vibration, common issues with rotary blade propellers. Available in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations, it offers versatility in installation.
Advantage under Sail: The low profile when folded minimizes drag, proven by independent tests, resulting in increased boat speed under sail. The shape prevents debris entanglement and the need for a shaft brake with hydraulic gearboxes, contributing to cost-effective durability.
Performance under Engine: Tests by leading yachting magazines confirm a significant efficiency boost (+15%) in both forward and reverse compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers, attributed to the unique curvature and rotation of the propeller blades. This design optimizes thrust even in under-powered conditions, unlike flat-bladed rotary propellers.
