Facnor adapted the racing structural furler developed for ocean Open 60’ to 24 to 33 ft sailing boats. These furlers are in/out systems for Solent or small Genoa. The STG  3T & 4T give the possibility of hoisting quickly a sail fitted with hanks as on any conventional forestay. This system is especially suitable for racing yachts

F A C N O R   A D V A N TA G E S :

• Saving in weight (up to 5 times lighter than a conventional furling system)
• Kit made of a continuous line drum and a top swivel both fitted with a toggle, and a halyard swivel
• Product conception based on a system tested in ocean races, waterproof and therefore maintenance free
• Constant and great furling power thanks to the continuous line drum
• Halyard swivel that allows use of the existing halyard
• Makes easy unstepping operations compared to a classic reefing system
• Maximum luff thanks to the low profile drum: the Genoa outhaul reaches the deck
• Simple installation, sail fitted on snap shackles
• Strong ( 3 & 4 ton loads)

I N / O U T  S Y S T E M S :

Unlike the headsail furling and reefing system, but like the Gennaker furler, the structural wire furler does not allow reefing of the sail. It is an in/out system. The sail set on structural wire furler can be fitted with hanks or zip luff. The furling principle is simple: the continuous line drum transfers the rotation to the tack of the sail that furls round the forestay. After a few turns, the rotation is quickly transferred to the top of the sail. With the halyard swivel the sail can be quickly hoisted and lowered the sail as requested.
