Gori Propeller 24x16x3RHx1:10W45 - Folding Propeller 24x16x3RH for 45mm ISO shaft
The Gori 3-blade folding propeller, introduced in 1994 and honored with both the DAME Award and HISWA Award, stands as a pinnacle in marine propulsion technology. This propeller represents a significant advancement in the development of sailing yacht propellers, offering a unique blend of speed advantages under sail and the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor.
The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller ensures exceptional thrust both ahead and in reverse, outperforming most other propellers and enhancing maneuvering properties. The standout "Overdrive" function introduces a new dimension to motorized driving, enabling the helmsman to dynamically adjust pitch and profile during forward motion. This is easily controlled through the boat's single lever shift without the need for delicate hydraulics or complex mechanics.
Utilized under power in calm weather or when powering under sail, the "Overdrive" function maintains the same speed at lower revs, resulting in reduced engine noise, less vibration, and improved fuel consumption. The operation is straightforward, shifting from normal ahead to "overdrive" via reverse, moving the ship clearly backwards, then shifting back to ahead. Returning from "overdrive" to normal ahead involves shifting gears to neutral, propeller folding, and shifting back to ahead, setting the Gori folding propeller apart from others in the market.
Suitable for engines from 7kW (10hp) - 221kW (300hp)
Breaking the tradition of being reserved for smaller vessels, the Gori folding propeller is now available for engines over 300 hp. This expansion allows large sailing yachts and motor sailers to leverage the special advantages of the Gori 3-bladed propeller.
The result of the special design of the Gori propeller is a minimum of noise and vibration, addressing common issues associated with rotary blade propellers with flat blades. Available in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations, the Gori 3-blade folding propeller offers versatility to cater to various vessel requirements.
Advantage under sail
The low profile when folded results in the lowest drag among 3-blade folding and rotary blade propellers, proven by independent tests. This leads to an increase in boat speed under sail, enhancing the overall value of your vessel. The unique shape prevents debris entanglement and ensures the propeller remains closed when sailing. For vessels with hydraulic gearboxes, the Gori propeller eliminates the need for an expensive shaft brake, ensuring durability without compromise.
Performance under engine
Tests by leading yachting magazines and independent organizations confirm the 3rd flg. Gori folding propeller's significantly higher efficiency in both advance (+15%) and reverse (+15%) compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers. This efficiency is attributed to the special curvature and rotation of the propeller blades, optimizing under-powered thrust not achieved with flat-blade designs of rotary blade propellers.
