Gori 3 Blade Folding Propeller 20x16x3RHx1:10W for 30 mm ISO Shaft

Gori Propeller 20x16x3RHx1:10W30 - Folding Propeller 20x16x3RH for 30mm ISO Shaft

The Gori Propeller 20x16x3RHx1:10W30 is a state-of-the-art 3-blade folding propeller that made its debut in 1994, securing prestigious awards such as the DAME Award and HISWA Award for the best new marine product. This propeller represents a significant technological and functional advance in propeller development for sailing yachts, providing both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers with the combined advantages of increased speed under sail and reliable thrust under motor.

The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller ensures excellent thrust both ahead and in reverse, outperforming most other propellers and enhancing maneuverability. A standout feature is the unique "Overdrive" function, allowing the helmsman to dynamically adjust pitch and profile during forward motion, revolutionizing motorized driving without relying on delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.

The "overdrive" function reduces engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption, offering the same speed at lower revs. Shifting from normal ahead to "overdrive" and back is a simple process, setting the Gori 3-flg. Folding propeller apart from others in the market.

Suitable for engines from 7kW (10hp) - 221kW (300hp)

Folding propellers, traditionally reserved for smaller sailing yachts, are now available for engines over 300 hp, bringing the special advantages of the Gori 3-bladed propeller to large sailing yachts and motor sailers.

The special design of the Gori propeller minimizes noise and vibration, addressing common issues with rotary blade propellers. 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 results in the lowest drag among 3-flg. folding and rotary blade propellers. Independent tests confirm increased boat speed under sail, enhancing the overall value of your boat.

The shape of the folding propeller prevents seaweed, plastic bags, and other flotsam from getting caught, ensuring smooth sailing. With hydraulic gearboxes, the expensive installation of a shaft brake can be avoided without jeopardizing the durability of the gearbox.

Performance Under Engine:

Tests by leading yachting magazines and independent organizations reveal a significantly higher efficiency (+15%) in 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, optimizing thrust even in underpowered conditions.
