The Gori Propeller 20x14x3RHS-SD40-60 stands as a pinnacle in marine propulsion, introduced in 1994 and swiftly earning recognition with the DAME Award and HISWA Award for its innovative design. This 3-blade folding propeller signifies a remarkable advancement in propeller technology for sailing yachts, enabling larger vessels to seamlessly combine the speed benefits of a folding propeller under sail with the fixed propeller's thrust during motorized navigation. With a distinctive wing curvature, it delivers superior thrust in both forward and reverse, enhancing power and maneuverability beyond conventional propellers. The exclusive "Overdrive" function adds a new dimension to motorized driving, allowing pitch and profile adjustments effortlessly. Suitable for engines ranging from 7kW to 221kW, it breaks the tradition of folding propellers being limited to smaller yachts, extending its advantages to engines over 300 hp. The propeller's design minimizes noise and vibration, and its low profile when folded ensures minimal drag, resulting in increased boat speed under sail. Additionally, the shape prevents debris entanglement, and tests validate its exceptional efficiency in both forward and reverse. The Saildrive Propeller features a flexible core hub for shock absorption and electrical isolation, designed for popular sail drives. With a legacy of over 25 years, Gori Propeller maintains its leadership in design, quality, and durability, making it the preferred choice for leading designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors. Numbered for quality assurance and future service, Gori folding propellers continue to uphold a reputation for excellence in the maritime world.

Gori Propeller 20x14x3RHS-SD40-60 - Folding Propeller 20x14x3RHS for Sail Drive

The Gori 3-blade folding propeller, introduced in 1994, earned immediate acclaim, receiving both the DAME Award and HISWA Award for the best new marine product. Representing a significant technological and functional leap in propeller development for sailing yachts, this propeller allows larger sailing yachts and motor sailers to harness the speed advantages of a folding propeller under sail while benefiting from fixed propeller thrust under motor power.

The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller ensures excellent thrust in both forward and reverse, offering enhanced power and superior maneuvering properties compared to other propellers. The unique "Overdrive" function provides a new dimension to motorized driving, allowing pitch and profile adjustments without delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics. This function, used under power in calm weather or when sailing, reduces engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption.

Suitable for engines ranging from 7kW (10hp) to 221kW (300hp), the Gori 3-bladed propeller breaks the tradition of folding propellers being reserved for smaller sailing yachts, extending its benefits to 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, the low profile when folded results in the lowest drag, increasing boat speed under sail and enhancing overall boat value.

The shape of the folding propeller prevents debris entanglement, and with hydraulic gearboxes, eliminates the need for an expensive shaft brake without compromising gearbox durability. Tests by leading yachting magazines confirm the Gori folding propeller's significant efficiency gains in both forward (+15%) and reverse (+15%) compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers, attributed to its special curvature and rotation. The Saildrive Propeller features a flexible core hub, acting as a shock absorber and electrically isolating the propeller, designed for popular sail drives like Bukh, Sonic, Volvo-Penta, Yanmar, and others.

Gori Propeller, a market leader for over 25 years, emphasizes professional quality, utilizing high-quality materials such as Nibral and stainless steel. Numbered for quality assurance and future service, Gori folding propellers remain the first choice for leading designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors, maintaining a steadfast position in design, quality, and durability.
