Gori Propeller 24x17x3RHx1:10W40 - Folding Propeller 24x17x3RH for 40mm ISO shaft
The 3-blade Gori folding propeller, introduced in 1994, received acclaim with the DAME Award and HISWA Award for best new marine product, signifying a significant leap in sailing yacht propulsion. Engineered for both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers, it seamlessly integrates the speed advantages of the folding propeller under sail with the thrust of the fixed propeller under motor.
The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller ensures exceptional thrust in both forward and reverse, providing superior power and maneuvering properties compared to almost all other propellers. The revolutionary "Overdrive" function allows the helmsman to dynamically adjust pitch and profile without delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics, offering a unique dimension in motorized driving.
Suitable for engines ranging from 10hp to 300hp, this propeller breaks previous constraints, making folding propellers available for engines over 300 hp. The special design minimizes noise and vibration issues associated with rotary blade propellers. Available in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations, it provides versatility in installation.
Advantage under Sail: The low profile when folded minimizes drag, proven by independent tests, resulting in increased boat speed under sail. This enhancement in speed adds overall value to your boat, challenging the notion of sailing slowly.
The shape of the folding propeller prevents debris entanglement during sailing, distinguishing it from traditional rotary blade propellers. With hydraulic gearboxes, the expensive installation of a shaft brake can be avoided without compromising the durability of the gearbox.
Performance under Engine: Tests by leading yachting magazines confirm a significant efficiency boost (+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.
