Gori 3 Blade Folding Propeller 20x15x3RHx1:10W for 30 mm ISO Shaft

Gori Propeller 20x15x3RHx1:10W30

The 3-blade Gori folding propeller was introduced in 1994 and received prestigious awards such as the DAME Award and HISWA Award for the best new marine product in the same year.

Representing a significant technological and functional advancement in propeller development for sailing yachts, the 3-blade Gori folding propeller allows both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers 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 creates excellent thrust ahead, and by turning the wings, it achieves the same power in reverse, providing more power and superior maneuvering properties compared to many other propellers.

'Overdrive' Function

The "Overdrive" function of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller revolutionizes motorized driving. Helmsmen can adjust the pitch and profile of the propeller while moving forward, controlled via the boat's single lever shift without the need for delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.

The "Overdrive" is particularly useful in calm weather or when powering under sail, offering the same speed at lower revs, resulting in less engine noise, reduced vibration, and lower fuel consumption.

The unique "overdrive" function and propeller turning during maneuvering set the Gori 3-blade folding propeller apart from others.

Suitable for Engines

Designed for engines ranging from 7kW (10hp) to 221kW (300hp), the Gori folding propeller breaks the tradition of being reserved for small and medium-sized sailing yachts, now available for engines over 300 hp.

The 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.

Advantage under Sail

The low profile when folded provides the lowest drag among 3-blade folding and rotary blade propellers, enhancing boat speed under sail. The shape prevents debris from getting caught and eliminates the need for a shaft brake with hydraulic gearboxes.

Performance under Engine

Independent tests confirm that the 3-blade Gori folding propeller outperforms others with a significant increase in efficiency both in advance (+15%) and reverse (+15%). The unique curvature and rotation of the blades contribute to this efficiency, surpassing flat-bladed rotary propellers.

Professional Quality

Gori Propeller, a leader in folding propeller design for over 25 years, uses only high-quality materials like Nibral and stainless steel. The 3rd-bladed Gori folding propeller showcases their technical leadership, preferred by top designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors.
