For 50 years, Danish company Gori Propeller has been one of the foremost names in folding marine propellers used on sailboat auxiliary motor drives. These propellers fold into a streamlined form when under sail, then open up like springtime blossoms the instant the motor drive kicks on. Gori's latest innovation, the Hybrid Propeller, is designed for electrified sail drives, giving captains the ability to lock the prop blades open when under sail to activate regeneration for the onboard batteries.
