It marks the end of struggling to reef in rough seas; in one simple operation you will have the sail adjusted to the wind force.

Once back in a harbor, no more folding or flaking the mainsail. Again in one simple move your mainsail can be furled and unfurled. Your yacht will always be prepared to leave its berth, sails ready.

The Principe of COMPACT F continues the philosophy which has made FACNOR one the world leaders in the design and manufacture of furling systems : simplicity - reliability - innovation. The furled mainsail is contained in a housing section fixed to the mast. The great reliability of the system comes from the furling mechanism itself which is a unique line drive positioned just above the goose-neck ( FACNOR patent).

The crucial concept of COMPACT F is the fixing of the housing sections to the mast sailtrack without the need to drill holes in the mast.

 This extremely strong but simple method of fitting requires no alteration to the mast nor any modification of the goose-neck.

As a consequence the system is easy to both fit and remove, without unstepping the mast, and will fit all types of masts.
