Gori Propeller 24x19x3LHx1:10W40 - Folding Propeller 24x19x3LH for 40mm ISO shaft
The 3-blade Gori folding propeller, introduced in 1994 and honored with the DAME Award and HISWA Award, represents a significant leap in propeller technology for sailing yachts. This innovation extends its advantages to larger sailing yachts and motor sailers, combining the speed benefits of a folding propeller under sail with the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor.
Featuring wing curvature, the Gori folding propeller excels in providing excellent thrust both forward and backward, offering superior maneuvering properties compared to other propellers. The unique "Overdrive" function redefines motorized driving, allowing the helmsman to adjust pitch and profile without intricate hydraulics or mechanics, reducing engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption.
Suitable for engines ranging from 7 kW (10 hp) to 221 kW (300 hp), the Gori 3-bladed propeller breaks the tradition of being reserved for smaller sailing yachts, now catering to engines over 300 hp. Its special design minimizes noise and vibration, common issues with flat-bladed rotary propellers.
The propeller is available in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations. Its low-profile when folded minimizes drag, proven by independent tests, resulting in increased boat speed under sail, enhancing the overall value of your boat.
The Gori folding propeller's shape prevents entanglement with seaweed and debris while sailing, eliminating the need for a shaft brake with hydraulic gearboxes. Tests by leading yachting magazines confirm its higher efficiency in both advance and reverse, attributing it to the unique curvature and rotation of the propeller blades.
Gori Propeller, a leader in design and development for over 25 years, emphasizes professional quality with the 3rd bladed Gori folding propeller. Crafted from high-quality materials like Nibral and stainless steel, it remains the top choice for designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors. Each Gori propeller is numbered for quality assurance and future serviceability.
