GORI Race Propeller Has Zero Drag

The gori race 2-blade folding propeller is the ultimate propeller for the out & out grand prix racing sailboat and serious club racer..

The specialized Race design blades have zero drag. German sailing magazine “Segeln” tested propeller drag at the German Naval Architecture Test Center in Potsdam and results show the GORI Race propeller had the lowest drag. GORI Race Test Results

Results show the GORI Race propeller had the lowest drag of all – Zero 0 – it could not be measured.

GORI Race – 0 Newton

2-blade Maxprop – 2.0 N (Tested with blades “hidden” behind the Saildrive leg which cannot be done in ‘Real’ life – a saildrive stops wherever & the feathering propeller blades cannot be aligned)

2-blade Std GORI – 2.2 N

2-blade Flexifold – 3.1 N

2-blade Varifold – 3.1 N

2-blade Variprop – 7.0 N

2-blade Volvo – 9.7 N

2-blade fixed – 99.9 N held / 198.7 N free rotating

No other 2-blade folding propeller has as low a drag coefficient as the GORI racing propeller. Its zero drag is due to the blades elliptical shape, matched together with no gap, along with the smallest tapered geared hub size on the market. Most importantly, performance when motoring is not compromised – the GORI race propeller has a high BAR (blade area ratio) ensuring maximum efficiency and with the shaped true profile blades (camber & curve) gives increased thrust (efficiency) and power over a greater RPMrange.

Please read these instructions carefully before installing your new GORI propeller

Gori2blade_saildriveInstall

A) Take the propeller apart – note that there are two allen screws (7,8) that lock each of the blade pins (3) in place. Note that the blades, pins and hub are all marked carefully so as to re-assemble in the correct location.

B) Check that the hub (1),fits onto the output shaft of the saildrive leg. The hub has a matching spline and so simply slide it on. Check that the shaft nut (5),threads on to the end of the output shaft

C) Ensure that the washer (supplied with the saildrive unit) is in place at the fwd end of the output shaft. Now grease the output shaft on the saildrive with some water resistant grease and slide the hub back on.

D) Install the GORI supplied shaft nut (5), onto the shaft and tighten to 70 ft/lbs. Now smear some loctite (12) onto the threads of the lock bolt (9). Place the washer (4) in place and tighten the lock bolt (9), into the output shaft. It is very important to always use the Gori supplied propeller nut for the installation. An incorrect nut can lead to loss of the propeller, part of the propeller or cause an electrical connection between the propeller and the saildrive.

On older saildrive models there may be holes drilled through the male thread area at the end of the shaft. If so then align these holes with the holes on the lock bolt (9) and insert the split pin (6) and bend over.

E) Lightly grease the moving parts of the blades (2) and re-assemble the blades with the pins (3). Be careful to place pins, blades and hub in the same numbered locations.

F) Apply locktie (12), to the allen screws (7,8), screw them tightly into the holes at the aft end of the propeller hub. Be sure that the blade pins (3) are smooth and neat on the outside of the hub…this will ensure that the allen screws have seated themselves into the dimple on the pin. Remember there are 2 per blade pin.

G) Check that the blades will operate freely in all directions from open to closed.

– Do not start the engine while the boat is out of the water – The prop may have sharp edges… be careful not to cut yourself – Make sure the blades do not open or close suddenly and trap your fingers – Stop the engine before diving or swimming in the vicinity of the boat – Propeller blades can cause considerable damage when rotating … be careful. – Do not remove fish nets, rope or similar from the prop with the engine running. – Check that the prop works in both fwd and reverse before each trip. If any strange sounds or vibrations are noticed coming from the propeller stop the engine and investigate the reasons/solve the problem.

B) Check that the hub fits the shaft taper without interference form the key. C) Check the nut on the shaft thread.

D) Mount the hub on the shaft and tighten the nut (4) to the shaft. Use 7/8th socket … 22mm. E) Install the allen screw (5) into the hub to lock the shaft nut. Do this by first smearing the threads with the enclosed Loctite–243. Tighten the screw in place using the allen key supplied. F) Grease the moving parts of the blades-gears- with water resistant grease. Mount the blades (2) and the pins (3) to the hub. Be sure that you mount them in accordance to their numbers. ie #1 and #2. G) Install allen screws (6,7) into aft end of hub using Loctite -242, on the threads. The second screw is a locking screw. Be sure tighten both in place. H) Check that the blades move freely from open to close.

– Do not start the engine while the boat is out of the water – The prop may have sharp edges… be careful not to cut yourself – Make sure the blades do not open or close suddenly and trap your fingers – Stop the engine before diving or swimming in the vicinity of the boat – Propeller blades can cause considerable damage when rotating … be careful. – Do not remove fish nets, rope or similar from the prop with the engine running. – Check that the prop works in both fwd and reverse before each trip. – If any strange sounds or vibrations are noticed coming from the propeller stop the engine and investigate the reasons/solve the problem.

Saildrive Propellers

3-Blade Flexofold Saildrive Prop

Saildrive Propellers for sailboats by Flexofold

Whether you need a 2-blade saildrive propeller for cruising or regatta sailing, a powerful 3-blade propeller, or the pioneering Composite propeller – Flexofold has the correct propeller for you!

When viewing the propeller blade profile, you can see the large blade area which is necessary for its powerful performance. The twist and hydrodynamic shape of the blades m aximizes the efficiency all along the length of the blade, instead of at just one point (which is the case in flat blades often seen on feathering props). Furthermore, the twin-helical gears ensure the blades will open consistently and fold back under sail into a very low drag configuration designed to maximize efficiency.

The extreme low drag from a Flexofold propeller will not only make your boat sail faster, but will also allow you to experience the power of strong propulsion.

2-, 3- or 4-blade folding propeller – what to choose for your sailboat

Flexofold 15-03-22 08:51

2-, 3- or 4-blade folding propeller – what to choose for your sailboat

Whether you, as a boat owner, should choose a 2-blade, a 3-blade or a 4-blade folding propeller is a question that we have been asked a lot here at Flexofold. And regardless of how many times we are asked, and no matter by who, and no matter how insistent the question is, our answer will always be the same.

Basically, it is about your boat’s motor, its gearbox, your boat type, and, last but not least, your personal preferences.

What are the differences between a 2-, a 3- and a 4-blade folding propeller?

The way the various propellers are constructed and how they work is the same. But, in spite of this, there are some significant differences. That is why it is important that you know both your boat engine, its gearbox and the model, when you want to find out which folding propeller is the right one for you (and your boat). It is, in fact, the combination of these things that is determining your choice.

Here at Flexofold, it is a given that we help you with this. You just need to give us the precise information, and then we can make the necessary calculations. In order to find these pieces of information, you might want to find the papers relating to your boat. Some pieces of information, like which gearbox your boat has, can be found on the information plate on the boat itself.

A 2-blade folding propeller provides for the least drag resistance because of the minimal profile that is in contact with the water.

2-bladet, 3-bladet eller 4-bladet foldepropel - hvad skal du vælge  til din sejlbåd? 1

In spite of this, the 3-blade propellers are the most common.

In rough winds as well as strong currents, it is an advantage, as it ensures that the boat maintains its speed, and you will also experience a smoother sailing, as the vibrations are reduced if you have a sailboat with more horsepower.

2-bladet, 3-bladet eller 4-bladet foldepropel - hvad skal du vælge  til din sejlbåd? 2

A 4-blade propeller is a good choice for heavier boats with a lot of horsepower. In this case, more power is required before the boat gains momentum – that applies to rough winds and seas as well. That is because the bigger blade area makes for an efficient pitch.

2-bladet, 3-bladet eller 4-bladet foldepropel - hvad skal du vælge  til din sejlbåd? 3

However, it is important to mention that there is not, per definition, one specific folding propeller with one specific number of blades that is better than the others. Instead, it is the conditions that the propeller is to function under as well as motor type, gearbox and boat type that are determining factors.

Why is it possible to choose between a different number of blades?

In relation to the number of blades, it is especially motor size and gearbox that determine what you should choose.

The bigger your boat’s engine is, the bigger the propeller you theoretically need, as a bigger blade area ensures the necessary propulsion. That means that when you have more boat power which needs to perform well in water, the bigger the blade surface needs to be, as the blades push the water and thereby optimize everything from the centrifugal force to water currents. Maybe it sounds simple, but it is also important to take the gearbox into consideration, as this in particular is determining for the propeller’s diameter and pitch, which need to match the motor. Therefore, you should be aware of the fact that the same motor type and model can have different gearboxes and maybe also differences when it comes to propulsion and moving backward. If you for example have a gearbox of 1:2,36 , it is recommended that you use a propeller with a smaller blade profile instead of a gearbox of 1:3,16, which requires a bigger blade profile.

2-bladet, 3-bladet eller 4-bladet foldepropel - hvad skal du vælge  til din sejlbåd? 4

If you look at a boat propeller from the back, you can see that the blade on, for example a 3-blade propeller covers about 50-55 % of the circle that the blades rotate in. You can increase this percentage by adding a fourth blade. When you look at a 4-blade propeller, you will likewise see that a bigger area of the rotational circle is covered. And that also means that the propeller has much more contact with the water.

And to just stick with 2 blades, that are scaled up in size, is not a possibility due to, among other things, the tipping speed.

What should you choose for your sailboat?

In particular, there are 3 factors that are crucial, when it comes to finding the right number of blades on your folding propeller:

  • Your boat’s motor size and gearbox
  • Your boat type
  • Your personal preferences

The number of blades depends on your boat’s motor size and gearbox

The two most important parameters when it comes to finding the right folding propeller are determined by your boat’s motor and gearbox.

2-bladet, 3-bladet eller 4-bladet foldepropel - hvad skal du vælge  til din sejlbåd? 5

If you for example have a sailboat with 150 horsepower, then a 2-blade propeller is not the best solution. In this case you need something bigger and more powerful instead.

Conversely, a boat with less horsepower should not have a folding propeller with 4 blades, as the motor in that case would have a hard time keeping up with the propeller, and that could cause damage to your boat.

Your boat type is important when it comes to the number of blades

Following the above, your boat type is also important.

However, this should always be seen in correlation to both the motor and the gearbox, as many different combinations exist. And the same gearbox can easily be mounted on different boats.

That is why we always recommend that you contact us when you need to get the best assessment.

Your personal preferences can also be a determining factor

Last but not last, your personal preferences are also important, of course.

Even after thorough calculations when it comes to motor size, gearbox and boat type, it will in some cases be relevant with, for example, both a 2-blade folding propeller and a 3-blade folding propeller, and in that case, it will be up to you to decide what you want to achieve with your time spent at sea.

If you want the absolute smallest tensile pull as possible, then you should of course choose the model with the fewest blades, i.e. a 2-blade folding propeller. And the same thing applies if it is a matter of money. The fewer the blades, the lower the price will be, more often than not.

If, on the other hand, you want maximum effect even in the roughest weather, then a 3-blade folding propeller is a more optimal choice.

At Flexofold we help you make the right decision

We know that it can be difficult to choose a folding propeller with the right number of blades. Therefore, we offer to help you in the process – no matter which type of sailor you are. 

All you need to do is send us the exact details for your boat, including your boat’s motor size, gearbox and boat type, then we do the math for you. From there, we can give you the best and most well-founded assessment of how many blades the folding propeller for exactly your boat needs to have.

Understanding the Different Types of Boat Propellers

To get the most out of your boating days, it's important to know the types of boat propellers and which works best for your boating style. The right boat propeller can make all the difference in how your boat performs on the water. 

By understanding the different types of boat propellers and how they work, you can make a smart choice that perfectly matches your unique boating needs. 

Different Types of Propellers

What Are the Types of Boat Propellers?

Whether you're after more speed , better stability, or extra power, there's a boat propeller out there that's just right for you. You'll notice a smoother, more efficient ride with the right option, making your time on the water even more enjoyable.

1. Three-Blade Propellers

Three-blade propellers are the most common type, offering a good balance between speed and fuel efficiency. Best for:

  • Recreational fishing boats
  • Watersports boats

These propellers are known for providing higher top speeds due to reduced drag. They are versatile and perform well in various water conditions, making them a popular choice for many boaters.

2. Four-Blade Propellers

Four-blade propellers are known for their smooth operation and enhanced control, especially at lower speeds. Best for :

  • Offshore fishing boats
  • Heavy vessels (e.g., cabin cruisers)
  • Boats used in rough waters

These propellers offer better handling in rough waters and more thrust at lower speeds, making them ideal for boats that require stability and control.

3.  Five-Blade Propellers

Five-blade propellers are designed to provide a blend of power and smooth operation, often used in high-performance boats. Best for :

  • High-performance boats
  • Luxury yachts
  • Wakeboard boats

These propellers reduce vibrations, offering a smoother ride and better grip in the water, which enhances control and stability.

4. Cupped Propellers

Cupped propellers feature a slight curve at the edges of the blades, which enhances their bite in the water, especially at higher speeds. Best for :

  • Racing boats
  • Boats operating in shallow waters
  • Performance-driven vessels

The cupped edges reduce ventilation, allowing the boat to achieve higher top speeds with less effort and maintain performance in shallow water.

5. High-Thrust Propellers

High-thrust propellers are designed to provide maximum power at lower speeds, making them ideal for heavy loads and towing. Best for :

  • Pontoon boats
  • Towing vessels

These propellers have larger blades or a larger diameter, allowing them to push more water and generate more thrust at lower RPMs.

6.  Surface-Piercing Propellers

Surface-piercing propellers are designed for high-speed boats, operating with part of the propeller above the water's surface. Best for :

  • High-speed performance boats

These propellers reduce drag by operating partially out of the water, enabling boats to achieve extreme speeds.

7. Fixed Propellers

Fixed propellers have blades that are permanently fixed in position. Best for :

  • Recreational boats
  • Cruising sailboats
  • Fishing boats

These propellers are reliable and cost-effective, optimized for a specific range of speeds, but less versatile in varying conditions.

8.  Variable Pitch Propellers

Variable pitch propellers allow the angle of the blades to be adjusted while the boat is in operation. Best for :

  • Performance boats
  • Commercial vessels
  • Boats with varying load requirements

These propellers offer greater flexibility, allowing for fine-tuning of speed and power, which enhances performance and fuel efficiency.

9.  Folding Propellers

Folding propellers are designed primarily for sailboats, with blades that fold back when not in use to reduce drag. Best for :

  • Racing yachts

These propellers reduce drag while sailing, improving sailing performance and offering a compact design that saves space.

10.  Feathering Propellers

Feathering propellers rotate their blades to align with the water flow when not in use, minimizing drag. Best for :

These propellers offer minimal drag and better reverse thrust, making them effective for maneuvering in tight spaces or docking.

11.  Dual-Props (Counter-Rotating Propellers)

Dual props involve two propellers mounted on the same shaft, rotating in opposite directions to cancel out torque. Best for :

  • Boats needing enhanced maneuverability
  • Powerboats with twin engines

These propellers provide more thrust, better acceleration, and enhanced handling, especially during sharp turns.

12.  Specialty Propellers

Specialty propellers are custom-designed for specific applications, such as shallow water navigation or ice-breaking. Best for :

  • Custom or specialized boats
  • Boats operating in unique conditions

These propellers are tailored for particular tasks, ensuring optimal performance in specialized scenarios.

13.  Weedless Propellers

Weedless propellers are designed to prevent weeds and debris from getting tangled in the blades. Best for :

  • Boats operating in weedy or debris-filled waters
  • Shallow water boats

These propellers have anti-clogging designs that allow for smoother operation in areas where vegetation is dense.

14.  Cleaver Propellers

Cleaver propellers have a unique design with straight trailing edges optimized for high-speed performance. Best for :

  • High-speed boats

These propellers are designed to reduce drag and maximize top-end speed, making them ideal for racing and performance applications.

15.  Chopper Propellers

Chopper propellers have large blades with high rake angles designed for maximum speed and lift. Best for :

  • Boats with elevated engine heights

These propellers provide excellent lift and top-end speed, often used in high-performance and racing environments.

16.  Propulsor Propellers

Propulsor propellers, or ducted propellers, are encased in a nozzle that improves efficiency by directing the water flow. Best for :

  • Heavy-duty vessels

These propellers enhance thrust and efficiency, making them ideal for vessels that require strong pushing power.

17. Contra-Rotating Propellers

Contra-rotating propellers consist of two sets mounted on the same axis but rotating in opposite directions. Best for :

  • Boats requiring enhanced maneuverability

These propellers provide more thrust, better acceleration, and improved handling by canceling out the rotational forces that cause torque.

Stainless Steel vs. Aluminum Propellers

While not a specific type of propeller, the material from which a propeller is made can significantly impact performance. The two most common materials are stainless steel and aluminum.

Stainless Steel Propellers

Best for : High-performance boats, rough waters

Stainless steel propellers are known for their durability and performance. They offer less flex and better precision, which translates to higher speed and improved fuel efficiency. However, they are more expensive and heavier than aluminum propellers.

Aluminum Propellers

Best for : Recreational boats, casual boating

Aluminum propellers are lighter and more affordable, making them popular for casual boaters. They are easier to repair but don't offer the same level of performance as stainless steel propellers, especially at higher speeds.

Choosing the Right Boat Propeller

Selecting the right propeller depends on several factors , including the type of boat you own, your boating activities, and your performance needs.

Consider Your Boating Activities

If you're into watersports or speed, a three-blade or cupped propeller might be your best bet. For those focused on stability and handling, a four-blade or high-thrust propeller may be more suitable.

Consider the Water Conditions

A cupped or high-thrust propeller can help maintain performance if you frequently boat in shallow waters. For rough waters, a four-blade or stainless steel propeller can offer better control.

Read Next: Boating in Rough Waters

Material Matters

Stainless steel propellers offer better performance and durability but at a higher cost. Aluminum propellers are more budget-friendly and easier to repair, making them a good choice for casual boaters.   The key to choosing the right propeller is understanding your boat's requirements and how different propeller types can meet those needs. With the right boat propeller type, your boat will perform at its best - whether you're racing across the lake or cruising with friends.

History of Tyumen Oblast

People began to explore Western Siberia about 15-20 thousand years ago. Western Siberia was inhabited by the tribes of the Khanty and Mansi (Voguls), Nenets (Samoyed), Selkups (Ostyaks-Samoyeds). At the end of the first millennium AD, the Turkic tribes inhabited the south of the present Tyumen region; later, they formed into an ethnic community of the Siberian Tatars.

In the 13th-16th centuries, Chingi-Tura (Chimgi-Tura), the capital of the Tyumen Khanate of the Tatars and Kereits, was standing on the bank of the Tyumenka River. The khanate was in vassal dependence on the Golden Horde. Around 1500, the ruler of the Tyumen Khanate united the greater part of Western Siberia by creating the Siberian Khanate with the capital in the town of Kashlyk, also known as Sibir and Isker.

The Siberian khans waged numerous wars against the Astrakhan Khanate, the Nogai Horde, raided on Russian territory. In 1563, Kuchum became the khan. He managed to unite the previously hostile Tatar tribes, subordinated the Vogul and Samoyed tribes to his influence.

In order to protect their territories from the Tatars, the Urals merchants and industrialists of Stroganov hired the Cossack detachment headed by Ermak to their service. In 1582, the Cossacks began a campaign against the Siberian Khanate. In the autumn of 1582, there was a decisive battle against the troops headed by Kuchum. In the battle at the Chuvash cape, the khan’s forces were defeated.

More Historical Facts…

The Cossacks’ military campaign in Siberia lasted four years. The main forces of the Siberian Tatars were defeated. Even after the death of Ermak in 1585, the khanate could not gain its former strength. The campaign of Ermak opened the way for the Russian migration to Siberia.

In 1586, the construction of a stockaded settlement began on the Tura River. Later, it became the first Russian town in Siberia - Tyumen. In 1587, the stockaded settlement of Tobolsk was founded, 17 km from the Tatar settlement of Sibir (Kashlyk, Isker) (the capital of the Siberian Khanate). In 1593-1594, the towns of Berezov and Surgut were founded. With the expansion of land routes to Eastern Siberia, more Russian towns were founded. In 1590, Tobolsk became the main center of Siberia.

In the 17th century, Tobolsk and Tyumen, as trade and craft centers, reached the level of the towns of the European part of Russia. Since the end of the 17th century, stone construction began - the first stone buildings beyond the Urals appeared in Tobolsk. The only Kremlin in the eastern part of Russia was built in Tobolsk. In 1708, Tobolsk became the administrative center of the largest province in Russia - Siberian province.

One of the factors that determined the life of Western Siberia was the political exile. In the second quarter of the 19th century, the Decembrists were exiled to Tobolsk gubernia (province). Other representatives of liberation movements of Russia - Radishev, Dostoyevsky, Petrashevsky and a lot of others - also experienced imprisonment in Tobolsk.

In the 18th-19th centuries, Tobolsk was the administrative, cultural and spiritual center of Siberia. Tyumen was a commercial and industrial center. Located at the intersection of trade routes between the West and the East, Tyumen turned into a “gateway to Siberia.” Through Tyumen, the path of settlers from the European part of the Russian Empire passed after the abolition of serfdom and during the Stolypin agrarian reform.

The development of the region intensified during the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Several natives of the region became world famous: D.I. Mendeleev (Tobolsk) - one of the greatest chemists and the author of the periodic system, P.P. Ershov (Tobolsk) - a poet, storyteller, author of “The Horse - Hunchback”, G.E. Rasputin (Pokrovskoye village) - the favorite of the last Russian emperor.

In 1917-1918, the family of Nikolai Romanov, the last Russian emperor, was under the arrest in Tobolsk. The town was one of the centers of the largest popular uprising against the Bolsheviks - a peasant uprising in Siberia in 1921-1922. During the Soviet era, the region continued to be a place of exile, part of the Gulag - a system of forced-labor camps.

In the 1920s-1940s, the territory remained mainly agricultural. During the Second World War, a number of industrial enterprises, scientific institutions, ministries, and departments were evacuated to this region. Since the summer of 1941, the body of V.I. Lenin was kept in Tyumen. August 14, 1944, Tyumen oblast with a center in Tyumen was formed, the region also included the Khanty-Mansi and Yamal-Nenets districts.

In 1964, a new page in the history of the Tyumen region began. The discovery of significant oil and natural gas deposits became the basis for the creation of one of the world’s largest oil and gas complexes. The development of oil and gas fields radically changed life in the Tyumen region. Several new towns founded: Novy Urengoy, Nadym, Noyabrsk, and others.

In record time, the Tyumen region became the country’s main oil and gas power base. By the end of the 1980s, the region annually produced about 400 million tons of oil and 574.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas. The development of the natural resources of Tyumen oblast became a matter of the whole country. The population increased tenfold.

Tyumen Oblast - Features

Tyumen Oblast is the only region of Russia that extends (together with autonomous okrugs) from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the state border in the south making it the third largest province of Russia after Yakutia and Krasnoyarsk krai.

The Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra is the main oil and gas bearing region of Russia and one of the largest oil producing regions in the world.

The Tyumen region is located in the southwestern part of the West Siberian lowland plain and divides Russia into two large parts: to the west - the Urals and the European part of the country, to the east - the Asian part: Siberia and the Far East.

The climate is arctic and subarctic in the north, temperate - in the center and in the south. The average temperature in January ranges from minus 17 degrees Celsius in Tyumen to minus 27 degrees Celsius in the north.

The largest rivers of the region, the Ob and the Irtysh, are navigable. In total, there are about 70 thousand lakes. Most of the territory is covered with forests.

The bulk of the country’s proven oil and gas reserves are concentrated in the autonomous okrugs of Tyumen Oblast. Peat, quartz sands and limestone are also extracted. Natural ore deposits and precious stones are found on the eastern slope of the Urals, near the Arctic Circle.

Tyumen Oblast - Economy

In terms of industrial output, the Tyumen region ranks first in Russia. The main branch of specialization is the fuel industry, which accounts for more than 80% of the region’s industrial output. The Tobolsk petrochemical plant is the largest in Russia. Timber cutting and wood processing industries are also developed.

The region is characterized by harsh natural and climatic conditions, 90% of the territory is classified as or equivalent to the regions of the Far North. Only 3% of the region’s territory is occupied by agricultural land.

More favorable climatic conditions of the south allow to grow grain, potatoes, vegetables, coarse and juicy forages, the presence of large areas of hayfields and pastures creates favorable conditions for dairy and meat cattle breeding. About 80% of the region’s agricultural output is produced here.

Reindeer herding and fishing are the traditional occupation of the indigenous peoples of the North.

Tourism in Tyumen Oblast
