Gori Propeller 26x20x3RHx1:10W45 - Folding Propeller 26x20x3RH for 45mm ISO shaft
The 3-blade Gori folding propeller was introduced in 1994 and immediately received prestigious awards, including the DAME Award and HISWA Award for the best new marine product.
This innovative folding propeller represents a significant technological advancement in sailing yacht propeller development. It caters to both larger sailing yachts and motor sailers, allowing them to leverage the speed advantages under sail and the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor.
The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller ensures excellent thrust ahead. By turning the wings, it achieves the same power backward, offering superior maneuvering properties compared to other propellers.
'Overdrive' function
The "Overdrive" function enhances motorized driving by allowing the helmsman to change the pitch and profile of the propeller while moving forward. This is easily controlled via the boat's single lever shift, without the need for delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.
The "overdrive" function is used to reduce engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption, providing the same speed at lower revs. Switching between "overdrive" and normal ahead is a straightforward process, adding to the uniqueness of the Gori 3-blade folding propeller.
Suitable for engines from 7kW (10hp) - 221kW (300hp)
The Gori folding propeller, once reserved for smaller sailing yachts, is now available for engines over 300 hp. This allows larger sailing yachts and motor sailers to benefit from the special advantages of the Gori 3-bladed propeller.
The propeller's unique design results in minimal noise and vibration, addressing common issues with rotary blade propellers with flat blades.
The 3-blade Gori folding propeller comes in diameters from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations.
Advantage under sail
The low profile when folded minimizes drag, making it the most streamlined among 3-blade folding and rotary blade propellers. Independent tests have confirmed its effectiveness, leading to increased boat speed under sail and enhancing the overall value of your boat.
The propeller's shape prevents debris from getting caught on it when sailing, eliminating the need for a shaft brake in hydraulic gearboxes.
Performance under engine
Tests by leading yachting magazines and independent organizations demonstrate that the Gori folding propeller has significantly higher efficiency in both forward and reverse compared to other propellers. This efficiency is attributed to the special curvature and rotation of the propeller blades, optimizing under-powered thrust.
