Gori 3-Blade Folding Overdrive Propeller

Experience cutting-edge propulsion technology with the Gori Propeller. A technological marvel, it revolutionizes propellers for sailing yachts, providing larger sailing vessels and motor sailers with the dual benefits of enhanced speed under sail and reliable thrust under motor.

Featuring a unique wing curvature, the 3-blade Gori folding propeller excels in generating exceptional thrust both forward and backward, delivering superior power and maneuvering capabilities. The Overdrive function adds a new dimension to sailing under power. The helmsman can choose the propeller pitch and profile in the water while sailing forward by regulating the yacht's shift and throttle control. Without the use of vulnerable hydraulics or complicated mechanical devices. Used when motorsailing in fair weather or when using the engine under sail. Overdrive provides the same speed at lower rpms resulting in less engine noise, less vibration, and better fuel economy.

Benefit from the low profile when folded, minimizing drag and increasing boat speed under sail. The shape of the propeller prevents entanglement with seaweed and debris during sailing, eliminating the need for a shaft brake in hydraulic gearboxes.

The Gori Saildrive Propeller boasts a hub with a flexible core, acting as a shock absorber and ensuring electrical isolation from the saildrive. Designed for popular sail drives like Bukh, Sonic, Volvo-Penta, Yanmar, and others, it prioritizes durability and maneuverability. All Gori propellers are numbered for quality assurance and future serviceability.
