FX+0900 Flying Sail Furler
Further to constructive technical exchanges with ocean racers, Facnor has developed for over 20 years a sophisticated range of Gennaker/Code Zero furlers: the FX+. These furlers are known to be light, easy to fit, and aesthetic. Also, this furler is reliable for cruising or racing.
Features:
- Adapted to sailboat from 6 to 10.5m (20 to 30 ft.)
- Code sail surface of 30m²/ 322ft² maximum
- Captive quick-release pin
- Possible conversion for asymmetric Spinnaker
- Composite/carbon housing
- Maintenance-free units (sealed bearings)
The Standard Kit of the FX+900 Furler Includes:
- One continuous line drum in anodized aluminum and CNC machined in a solid block, protected by a composite/carbon housing, low-profile drum
- One swivel also in anodized aluminum and CNC machined in a solid block, including a neoprene anti-impact cover with high-visibility marking
- One snap shackle as the bottom drum attachment (Optional SSH+900/1500 solid sheave as an alternative)
- One shackle as the top swivel attachment (optional FRX900/1500 2-to-1 friction ring as an alternative)
Offers Comfort in Sail Handling, Reliability, and Easy Manipulation:
- Monoblock’s conception of the mechanisms for more sturdiness and long-lasting
- Intuitive manipulation to connect the sail to the mechanisms thanks to a fitted-in, compact, and unique captive quick-release pin
- Bottom drive unit with a largely dimensioned diameter for strong torque and therefore more comfortable handling
- Is rotation transmitted through an anti-torsion luff rope? Optional—sliding inside the luff tape and fitted with a thimble on each end
- Optimize the investment by converting the furlers for use with the asymmetric spinnaker; just add a FAST top-down thimble
