Gori Propeller 24x19x3RHx1:10W40 - Folding Propeller 24x19x3RH for 40mm ISO shaft
Introduced in 1994, the 3-blade Gori folding propeller earned prestigious accolades, including the DAME Award and HISWA Award, marking a technological leap in marine propulsion. This propeller, designed for sailing yachts and motor sailers, seamlessly combines the speed advantages of folding propellers under sail with the thrust of fixed propellers under motor.
The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller ensures outstanding thrust both ahead and astern, surpassing the performance of most other propellers and enhancing maneuvering capabilities. The unique "Overdrive" function adds a new dimension to motorized driving, allowing the helmsman to adjust pitch and profile during forward movement without the need for delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.
Suitable for engines ranging from 10hp to 300hp, this propeller breaks traditional constraints, making folding propellers accessible for engines over 300hp. The special design minimizes noise and vibration, addressing common issues with rotary blade propellers featuring flat blades.
Available in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations, the Gori folding propeller boasts a low profile when folded, resulting in the lowest drag among 3-blade folding and rotary blade propellers. Independent tests confirm a significant increase in boat speed under sail, enhancing the overall value of your vessel.
The unique shape of the folding propeller prevents debris from catching on it during sailing, eliminating the need for a shaft brake with hydraulic gearboxes and ensuring the durability of the gearbox.
Performance tests conducted by leading yachting magazines and independent organizations reveal a remarkable efficiency advantage of the 3rd flg. Gori folding propeller, boasting 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, overcoming the under-powered thrust optimization limitation of rotary blade propellers with flat designs.
