Gori 3-Blade Advantages

The Gori 3-blade folding propeller marks a technological and functional leap forward in the development of propellers for sailboats.

Folding Propeller:
• Lowest drag possible of any 3-blade fixed, feathering, folding propeller.
• Increased sailing speeds.
• Less turbulence over the rudder.
• Geared blade design ensures blades open/close together & simultaneously.

No rotation under sail:
• No strain or loading to the transmission either manual or hydraulic.

True Profile Blade Shape:
• Blades have both camber & curve (aerofoil) to their shape.
• Increases efficiency (thrust) under power and over a greater RPM range.
• Higher efficiency at lower RPMs settings.
• Lower propeller noise from blade wash due to curve of blade

Same advanced blade shape in reverse:
• The unique folding action allows for the identical leading edge to be the
same in reverse.
• Greater thrust ~ power in reverse.
• Dramatic reduction in prop-walk (almost non-existent)

Overdrive function:
• Allows for a pitch increase over normal of approx. 2~3 inch.
• Increased thrust and speed when motor-sailing due to increased pitch
setting.
• Lower engine Rpms for cruising in calm weather… less engine wear,
vibration and noise.
• Increased fuel economy increases cruising range and lowers engine noise,
quieter.

Simple installation:
• No gear & blade assembly or pitch settings to make at time of install.

Low maintenance:
• Manufactured using NIBRAL, high impact & corrosion resistance. No grease
fittings involved.

Performance ~ Reliability ~ Reputation ~ Quality ~ Longevity:
• Gori propellers have been in business for over 30+ years.
• Winner of Dame Award for design in 1994.
• Certified to DS/EN ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System Standard
• Currently installing propellers with serial numbers in the 65,000 range.
• The prominent choice of the top skippers, leading designers, custom boat
builders, OEM builders and cruiser and race owners.
