The Gori Propeller 20X16X3RHS, a remarkable 3-blade folding propeller launched in 1994, stands as a pinnacle in sailing yacht propulsion, earning prestigious awards like the DAME Award and HISWA Award in its debut year. Offering a technological leap, this propeller caters to larger sailing yachts and motor sailers, harmonizing the speed advantages of a folding propeller under sail with the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor. Boasting a distinctive "Overdrive" function for pitch and profile adjustments during forward movement, it enhances motorized driving efficiency, reducing noise, vibration, and fuel consumption. With compatibility for engines ranging from 7 kW to 221 kW, the Gori propeller defies convention by extending its advantages to larger vessels, ensuring minimal noise and vibration. Its low-profile design, available in various diameters, minimizes drag, contributing to increased boat speed under sail and overall boat value. The propeller's innovative shape prevents debris accumulation, and performance tests reveal superior efficiency compared to other propellers, making it a standout choice for saildrive configurations. The Gori Saildrive Propeller, designed for popular sail drives, features a flexible core hub for shock absorption and electrical isolation, ensuring durability and maneuverability.

Gori Propeller 20X16X3RHS - Folding Propeller 20x16x3RHS for Sail Drive

The award-winning 3-blade Gori folding propeller, introduced in 1994, revolutionizes sailing yacht propulsion. Recognized with the DAME Award and HISWA Award in its debut year, this propeller combines technological innovation and functional excellence for both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers.

The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller ensures exceptional thrust ahead, and by turning the wings, it achieves the same power in reverse, offering superior maneuvering properties compared to most other propellers. The unique "Overdrive" function allows the helmsman to adjust pitch and profile during forward movement, enhancing motorized driving with reduced engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption.

Suitable for engines ranging from 7 kW (10 hp) to 221 kW (300 hp), the Gori propeller breaks the convention by extending folding propeller advantages to larger vessels. Its special design minimizes noise and vibration issues commonly associated with flat-bladed rotary propellers.

Available in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations, the Gori folding propeller offers a low profile when folded, resulting in the lowest drag among 3-blade propellers. Independent tests confirm increased boat speed under sail, providing an overall boost to your boat's value. The propeller's shape prevents debris accumulation, and its compatibility with hydraulic gearboxes eliminates the need for an expensive shaft brake.

Performance tests by leading yachting magazines show a significant efficiency increase of +15% in both forward and reverse compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers. This efficiency is attributed to the unique curvature and rotation of the propeller blades, optimizing thrust even at lower engine power. The Gori Saildrive Propeller, designed for popular sail drives like Bukh, Sonic, Volvo-Penta, Yanmar, and more, features a flexible core hub for shock absorption, electrical isolation, and enhanced durability.
