Gori 3 Blade Folding Propeller 30x22x3RH 50mm ISO Shaft

Megayacht Gori Folding Propeller 30x22x3RH, 50mm ISO Shaft

Embark on a maritime revolution with the Megayacht Gori Folding Propeller, a pinnacle of marine engineering launched in 1994. The recipient of both the DAME Award and HISWA Award for the best new marine product in its debut year, this 3-blade folding propeller signifies a remarkable technological and functional leap in propeller development for sailing yachts.

Breaking barriers in performance, the Megayacht Gori Folding Propeller caters to larger sailing yachts and motor sailers, offering the speed advantages of a folding propeller under sail, seamlessly complemented by the thrust of a fixed propeller under motor power.

The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller is engineered for exceptional thrust in both forward and reverse motions, delivering superior power and maneuvering properties compared to its counterparts. Adding a new dimension to motorized driving is the unique "Overdrive" function, allowing the helmsman to adjust pitch and profile effortlessly when moving forward, contributing to reduced engine noise, vibration, and fuel consumption under power in calm weather or when sailing.

Suitable for engines ranging from 7kW (10hp) to 221kW (300hp), the Megayacht Gori Folding Propeller transcends the limitations of engine power, making the advantages of a 3-bladed propeller accessible to large sailing yachts and motor sailers.

The special design of the Gori propeller ensures a minimum of noise and vibration, addressing common issues with rotary blade propellers featuring flat blades. With diameters ranging from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations, the propeller offers a versatile range to suit different vessel setups.

Advantage Under Sail

The low profile when folded minimizes drag, substantiated by independent tests, resulting in a noteworthy increase in boat speed under sail. This enhancement not only elevates your sailing experience but also augments the overall value of your boat. Say goodbye to sailing slowly and embrace the cutting-edge design of the Megayacht Gori Folding Propeller.

The shape of the folding propeller acts as a barrier, preventing seaweed, plastic bags, and other debris from hindering its performance during sailing. In vessels equipped with hydraulic gearboxes, the installation of a shaft brake becomes unnecessary, ensuring cost savings without compromising gearbox durability.

Performance Under Engine

Rigorous tests conducted by leading yachting magazines and independent organizations affirm the Megayacht Gori Folding Propeller's substantial efficiency in both forward (+15%) and reverse (+15%) compared to other folding or rotary blade propellers. This efficiency is attributed to the unique curvature and rotation of the propeller blades, optimizing thrust even in under-powered conditions that challenge flat-bladed rotary designs.
