Gori Propeller 22x17x3LHx1:10W40 - Folding Propeller
The Gori Propeller 22x17x3LHx1:10W40 is a revolutionary 3-blade folding propeller that was introduced in 1994 and received prestigious awards such as the DAME Award and HISWA Award for the best new marine product in the same year.
Representing a significant technological and functional advancement in propeller development for sailing yachts, this propeller enables both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers to harness the speed advantages of a folding propeller under sail, combined with the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor.
The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller provides excellent thrust in both forward and reverse, surpassing the power and maneuvering capabilities of most other propellers on the market.
'Overdrive' Function
The "Overdrive" function of the Gori folding propeller adds a new dimension to motorized driving. The helmsman can easily adjust the pitch and profile of the propeller while moving forward, controlled via the boat's single lever shift without the need for delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.
Utilized under power in calm weather or when sailing under power, the "Overdrive" function ensures the same speed at lower revs, resulting in reduced engine noise, minimal vibration, and lower fuel consumption.
Switching between "overdrive" and normal ahead is straightforward, adding a unique feature that sets the Gori 3-blade folding propeller apart from others in the market.
Suitable for a Wide Range of Engines
This folding propeller is suitable for engines with a power range from 10hp to 300hp, breaking the tradition of being mainly reserved for smaller sailing yachts. Now, engines over 300 hp can benefit from the special advantages offered by the Gori 3-bladed propeller.
The propeller's special design results in minimal noise and vibration, addressing common issues with rotary blade propellers featuring flat blades. The range of diameters accommodates both standard shafting and saildrive configurations.
Advantages Under Sail
The low profile when folded minimizes drag, offering the lowest drag among 3-blade folding and rotary blade propellers. Independent tests have confirmed this effect, resulting in increased boat speed under sail and enhancing the overall value of your vessel.
The unique shape of the folding propeller prevents entanglement with seaweed, plastic bags, and other debris when sailing. With hydraulic gearboxes, the costly installation of a shaft brake can be avoided without compromising gearbox durability.
Performance Under Engine
Tests by leading yachting magazines and independent organizations have demonstrated a significant increase in efficiency (+15%) in both forward 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 under-powered conditions.
Professional Quality
Gori Propeller has been the leader in folding propeller design and development for over 25 years, emphasizing professional quality. The 3rd bladed Gori folding propeller underscores their technical leadership, utilizing only high-quality materials such as Nibral and stainless steel.
Maintaining a leadership position in design, quality, and durability for over 25 years, the Gori folding propeller is the preferred choice for leading designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors. Each Gori propeller is numbered for quality assurance and future service.
