Gori Standard 2 Blade Folding Propellers for shaft installation
2-blade Gori folding propeller The 2-blade Gori folding propeller is for sailing yachts fitted with engines up to approximately 60 HP (44 KW). It is available in 7 diameters from 11.5" to 18" for shaft installation RH and LH rotation.
Geared blades
The geared blade design ensures blade opening and closing is synchronised giving less vibration ahead and astern. Under sail blades close simultaneously.
Why not an extra knot ?
Under sail, a fixed propeller slows a yacht much more than most people would imagine. Tests have shown in certain instances that the 2-blade Gori folding propeller reduces the yacht's total drag by 35%. This resulted in one full knot of improvement in speed under sail. A folding propeller as opposed to a feathering propeller is less likely to foul seaweed, lobster lines or plastic bags when sailing.
Full power ahead
Tests have shown that the efficiency of the 2-blade Gori propeller in forward is better than most 2 and 3-blade feathering and folding propellers.
Full power reverse
Tests have shown that the efficiency of the 2-blade Gori propeller in reverse is equal to or better than most 2 or 3-bladed fixed, feathering and folding propellers. The Gori propeller gives you the optimum thrust in reverse by virtue of its propeller blade shape and profile, and does not rely solely on the centrifugal force to open the blades as do many other folding propeller types.
