Gori Propeller 20x15x3RHx1:10W35 - Folding Propeller 20x15x3RH for 35mm ISO shaft
The Gori 3-blade folding propeller, introduced in 1994 and acclaimed with the DAME Award and HISWA Award, represents a remarkable stride in sailing yacht propulsion. Catering to both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers, it seamlessly combines the speed advantages under sail with the robust thrust of a fixed propeller under motor. The wing curvature ensures outstanding thrust in both forward and reverse, setting it apart from other propellers.
The revolutionary "Overdrive" function transforms motorized driving, allowing the helmsman to effortlessly change pitch and profile via the boat's single lever shift, eliminating the need for delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics. Used in calm weather or while powering under sail, "Overdrive" delivers the same speed at lower revs, resulting in reduced engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption.
Suitable for engines from 7kW to 221kW, including those over 300 hp, this folding propeller transcends previous limitations, offering special advantages for large sailing yachts and motor sailers. The unique design minimizes noise and vibration issues, providing diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations.
The low-profile when folded minimizes drag, proven by independent tests to increase boat speed under sail, enhancing the overall value of your boat. Designed to prevent debris entanglement during sailing, the Gori propeller eliminates the need for a shaft brake with hydraulic gearboxes.
Performance tests showcase significant efficiency gains in both advance and reverse (+15%), attributed to the special curvature and rotation of the propeller blades. As a leader in folding propeller design and development for over 25 years, Gori Propeller maintains its technical lead with the 3rd bladed Gori folding propeller, crafted from high-quality materials like Nibral and stainless steel. A preferred choice for leading designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors, each Gori propeller is numbered for quality assurance and future service reference.
