Gori 3 Blade Folding Propeller 26x18x3RHx1:10W for 40mm ISO Shaft

Gori Propeller 26x18x3RHx1:10W40 - Folding Propeller 26x18x3RH for 40mm ISO shaft

The 3-blade Gori folding propeller, introduced in 1994, has been a pioneer in marine propulsion. Its innovative design earned it prestigious awards such as the DAME Award and HISWA Award in the same year.

The Gori folding propeller represents a significant leap forward in propeller technology for sailing yachts. This technology allows both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers to benefit from the speed advantages of a folding propeller under sail, coupled with the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor.

The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller ensures excellent thrust in both forward and reverse directions, providing superior power and maneuvering capabilities compared to most other propellers.

'Overdrive' Function

The "Overdrive" function of the Gori folding propeller introduces a new dimension to motorized driving. Helmsmen can adjust the pitch and profile of the propeller while moving forward, enhancing control without relying on delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.

The "overdrive" function is particularly useful in calm weather or when sailing under power, offering the same speed at lower revs, resulting in reduced engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption.

The unique combination of the "overdrive" function and the ability to turn the propellers during maneuvering sets the Gori 3-blade folding propeller apart from others.

Suitable for Engines

Designed for engines ranging from 7kW (10hp) to 221kW (300hp), the Gori folding propeller is no longer limited to small and medium-sized sailing yachts. It is now available for engines over 300hp, expanding its application to large sailing yachts and motor sailers.

The special design minimizes noise and vibration, common issues with flat-bladed rotary propellers.

The Gori folding propeller is available in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations.

Advantages Under Sail

The low profile when folded reduces drag, making the Gori folding propeller the most efficient among 3-blade folding and rotary blade propellers. Independent tests confirm increased boat speed under sail, enhancing the overall value of your boat.

The unique shape prevents debris from getting caught and maintains propeller integrity when sailing. Additionally, the propeller eliminates the need for a shaft brake in hydraulic gearboxes.

Performance Under Engine

Tests by leading yachting magazines and independent organizations reveal a significant increase in efficiency (+15%) both in advance and reverse compared to other propellers. This efficiency is attributed to the special curvature and rotation of the propeller blades, optimizing thrust even at lower power levels.
