The Gori Propeller 20x16x3RHx1:10W40 stands as a pinnacle in marine propulsion, introduced in 1994 and promptly recognized with the DAME Award and HISWA Award for its innovative design. This 3-blade folding propeller represents a technological breakthrough, enabling both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers to enjoy the advantages of increased speed under sail and enhanced thrust under motor. The unique wing curvature ensures exceptional thrust in both forward and reverse, setting it apart from conventional propellers. Notably, its "Overdrive" function allows the helmsman to dynamically adjust pitch and profile, optimizing motorized driving without intricate hydraulics. Suitable for engines ranging from 7kW to 221kW, it breaks the norm by extending folding propeller benefits to engines over 300 hp. The propeller's design minimizes noise and vibration, offering superior performance. Under sail, its low profile reduces drag, increasing boat speed, and preventing debris entanglement. Tests demonstrate a remarkable efficiency increase (+15%) in advance and reverse compared to other propellers, showcasing the exceptional design and functionality of the Gori 3-blade folding propeller.

Gori Propeller 20x16x3RHx1:10W40 - Folding Propeller 20x16x3RH for 40mm ISO Shaft

The Gori Propeller 20x16x3RHx1:10W40, a 3-blade folding propeller introduced in 1994, earned acclaim by receiving the DAME Award and HISWA Award for the best new marine product. Representing a leap forward in sailing yacht propulsion, it allows both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers to harness the speed benefits of a folding propeller under sail, coupled with the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor.

The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller generates excellent thrust both ahead and in reverse, providing superior power and maneuvering capabilities compared to most other propellers. A standout feature is the "Overdrive" function, allowing the helmsman to adjust the pitch and profile of the propeller during forward motion, enhancing motorized driving without relying on delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.

Designed for engines ranging from 7kW (10hp) to 221kW (300hp), this folding propeller breaks the tradition of being reserved for smaller vessels, extending its benefits to engines over 300 hp. The special design minimizes noise and vibration, common issues with rotary blade propellers featuring flat blades.

Advantages Under Sail:
- Low profile when folded reduces drag, resulting in increased boat speed under sail.
- Prevents debris entanglement and propeller opening during sailing, ensuring smooth operation.
- No need for expensive shaft brake installation with hydraulic gearboxes, maintaining gearbox durability.
Performance Under Engine:

Tests by leading yachting magazines reveal a significant increase in efficiency (+15%) 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, optimizing thrust even in underpowered conditions.
