Reliability of the range
– Facnor, pioneers in designing and manufacturing endless line drum furlers since 1998. This type of products has been tested during offshore racing and in extreme conditions
– Intuitive handling of mechanisms (smooth push spring release device + captive quick release pin)
Several possible uses and easy stored
– Top and bottom adjustable fastenings
– As it is very simple to disconnect the sail from the furler and to fit a 2-to-1 block on the swivel, the Gennaker can be quickly changed for the staysail if needed. (provided that the loads are equivalent for both sails).
CONFIGURATION – STAYSAIL FITTED WITH FX+ FURLER
The staysail configuration requires perfect tension improved by :
– Ideally fitted with a locking swivel : see the
– with solid sheave option (bottom)
– or without lock with a 2-to-1 block (Top),
About the combine use of a Staysail furler and a Lock system (onboard a Class40′) :
“”Thanks to the lock, we can lower the furled staysail in order to tack or jibe easily, or even to reduce windage. Moreover, the locked staysail presents various advantages in comparison with a fixed forestay : sail furling, tight luff, easy handling. With the lock, hoisting and lowering the staysail is quick and so easy”.
