– One flat continuous line drum (maximum luff) and a carbon house. Large diameter for a better furling power. Half the weight of a standard Gennaker furler

– swivel with his anti-impact cover (neoprene)

– top and bottom attachment (shackle for the swivel and snap schakle for the drum pin).

– the FX+ benifits from a NEW GUIDE which makes the furling line more captive.
