GORI Propeller is delighted to announce that the GORI Hybrid Propeller is coming in 2025. The first folding propeller that allows the sailor to switch between sailing performance and regeneration modes.

Available to preview at METS 2024, on stand 12.540, the GORI Hybrid Propeller with 'patent pending' is based on the same platform as the DAME Design Award winning GORI 3-Blade Propeller for sailing boats with an added feature to optimise it for electric and hybrid propulsion.

GORI has developed an integrated locking system which will keep the blade open when regeneration is a priority, there is then a mechanism to release the blades, so they are folded when performance under sail is a priority. Boat handling and manoeuvrability are the same as per the standard 3-Blade Propeller.

"Using the GORI 3-Blade Propeller for regeneration is not new, customers have been using our original propeller for several years now, but it's not optimised for this purpose," comments Lars Østergaard Senior Vice President Sales at GORI Propeller. "Extensive testing has been conducted both here in Haderslev, Denmark and with a manufacturer of electric propulsion. We are delighted with the results and it's time for us to tell the world that effective regeneration with a folding propeller is possible!"

The GORI Hybrid Propeller 3-Blade will be available for both shaft and saildrive, with diameters from 18" to 30".

All are invited to come and see the GORI Hybrid Propeller prototype 18 x 11 LHS at METS on stand 12.540 from 19th to 21st November at METS at a time convenient to you.
