Our experience in designing continuous line furlers:

Compared to a conventional drum, the advantages of a continuous line system are numerous: a bigger luff available, greater furling power due to a larger diameter drum, no risk of overriding. A technology directly developed in racing Gennaker furlers or "structural system" on Open 60's. Furthermore, this model can be fitted on existing Facnor reefing system (R range).

FACNOR ADVANTAGES:

• Maximised luff thanks to low profile drum : the Genoa outhaul follows the deck
• Furling power increased
• A constant pull supplied by the furling line
• Easy handlings
• Internal housing for turnbuckle
• Waterproof bearings
• Installation as simple as a classic Facnor furling system
• Eliminates risk of furling line overriding
• Adaptation possible on former "S" or "R" sections
• Rotating tack fitting with torlon® balls to take up sail fullness
• Large range : RC100, RC180, RC220, RC300
