The new stakes of the offshore races have brought the designers of the sailing boats to look for alternatives to make boats lighter.
Compared to the existing products with aluminium sections, this headsail furler offers important advantages as first the weight savings but also a better aerodynamic shape.
The installation is simple and fast as the sections are connected by glue and not by screws which increases the stiffness in the torsional axis.

FACNOR started in 1998 with the 60' trimaran GROUPAMA and now most of the 60' monohulls and trimarans are equipped with this advanced product.
