Embark on a maritime journey with the Gori Propeller 20X16X3LHS-SD40-60, a revolutionary 3-blade folding propeller that redefines sailing yacht propulsion. Launched in 1994, this propeller received accolades such as the DAME Award and HISWA Award, marking a significant leap in technological innovation. Designed for larger sailing yachts and motor sailers, it seamlessly combines the speed advantages of a folding propeller under sail with the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor power. The propeller's distinctive wing curvature ensures exceptional thrust in both forward and reverse, offering superior power and maneuvering capabilities. With a unique 'Overdrive' function, it introduces a new dimension to motorized driving, allowing dynamic pitch and profile adjustments for reduced engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption. Suitable for engines ranging from 7 kW to 221 kW, it breaks conventional limits by catering to vessels with over 300 hp. Its low profile when folded minimizes drag, contributing to increased boat speed under sail, and its design prevents debris accumulation. The propeller's high efficiency under engine power, coupled with its suitability for popular sail drives, solidifies its position as a top choice for discerning yacht enthusiasts.

Gori Propeller 20X16X3LHS-SD40-60

Experience the pinnacle of marine propulsion with the Gori Propeller 20X16X3LHS-SD40-60, a groundbreaking 3-blade folding propeller that garnered the prestigious DAME Award and HISWA Award in its 1994 debut. This propeller signifies a remarkable technological leap in the realm of sailing yacht propulsion, enabling larger sailing yachts and motor sailers to harness the speed advantages of a folding propeller under sail while benefiting from the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor power.

'Overdrive' Function

The revolutionary "Overdrive" function introduces a new dimension to motorized driving, allowing the helmsman to dynamically adjust the pitch and profile of the propeller when moving forward. Controlled effortlessly via the boat's single lever shift, this function operates without delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics. Ideal for use under power in calm weather or when powering under sail, the "overdrive" ensures the same speed at lower revs, resulting in less engine noise, reduced vibration, and lower fuel consumption.

Suitable for Engines from 7kW to 221kW

Breaking traditional norms, the Gori 3-bladed propeller extends its benefits to engines over 300 hp, catering to large sailing yachts and motor sailers. The propeller's unique design minimizes noise and vibration, addressing common issues associated with rotary blade propellers featuring flat blades.

Advantage Under Sail

Experience the lowest drag among 3-blade folding and rotary blade propellers with the Gori Propeller's low profile when folded. Independent tests confirm an increase in boat speed under sail, enhancing the overall value of your vessel. The propeller's shape prevents debris accumulation, ensuring reliable performance without the need for a shaft brake when equipped with hydraulic gearboxes.

Performance Under Engine

Tests by leading yachting magazines showcase the 3rd flg. Gori folding propeller's remarkable efficiency, boasting a +15% efficiency in both advance and reverse compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers. This efficiency is attributed to the special curvature and rotation of the propeller blades, outperforming flat-bladed designs that compromise under-powered thrust optimization.

Saildrive Propellers

The hub of the Gori Saildrive Propeller features a flexible core that acts as a shock absorber and electrically isolates the propeller from the saildrive, meeting engine manufacturers' requirements. A safety system in the hub enhances durability and ensures maneuverability, designed for popular sail drives such as Bukh, Sonic, Volvo-Penta, Yanmar, and more.
