Gori Propeller 24x18x3LHx1:10W45 - Folding prop.24x18x3LH for 45mm ISO shaft
The 3-blade Gori folding propeller, introduced in 1994, earned prestigious awards like the DAME Award and HISWA Award for best new marine product in the same year. Representing a technological leap in propeller development for sailing yachts, it caters to larger sailing vessels and motor sailors, offering the speed advantages of a folding propeller under sail and 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 performance of most other propellers. The unique "Overdrive" function allows the helmsman to adjust pitch and profile when moving forward, enhancing maneuverability without complex hydraulics or mechanics.
Designed for engines ranging from 7 kW (10 hp) to 221 kW (300 hp), the Gori 3-bladed propeller breaks the tradition of folding propellers being limited to smaller vessels. Its special design minimizes noise and vibration, common issues 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 folding propeller delivers a low profile when folded, reducing drag and increasing boat speed under sail. The shape prevents debris from catching on it during sailing, eliminating the need for a shaft brake with hydraulic gearboxes.
Performance tests by leading yachting magazines and independent organizations reveal a significant efficiency advantage (+15%) in both forward and reverse compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers. This efficiency stems from the propeller's special curvature and rotation, optimizing thrust and setting it apart in the world of marine propellers.
