Facnor FX+1500 Furler for Flying Sail

• A furler easy to use and reliable in cruising or racing.
• Adapted to sailboat from 10 to 12m (30′ to 40′). 
• For Code sail of 60m²/646ft²maximum
  (max 20m²/215ft² Staysail). 
• Ratchet Option Start & Go available (working both clock or anti-clock wise). 
• Unique captive quick-release pin. 
• Possible conversion for asymmetric Spinnaker. 
• Composite/carbon housing. 
• Maintenance free units (sealed bearings). 
• Mechanisms designed as an “in/out” system for so-called flying sails. Possibility of customizing attachments (solid sheave, 2-to-1 block). 

The standard kit of the FX+ 1500 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 neoprene anti-impact cover with high-visibility marking. 
• One snapshackle as bottom drum attachment (optional SSH+900/1500 solid sheave as alternative). 
• One shackle as top swivel attachment (optional LB2T 2-to-1 block as alternative). 

Opt for the optional « Start & Go » system, a ratchet in s/s duplex enabling a temporary stop when furling in and a self-locking both clockwise and anti-clockwise (Facnor patent).

The FX+1500 “in/out system” offers comfort in sail handling, reliability and easy manipulation:

• “Monoblock” 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 largely dimensioned diameter for a strong torque and therefore more comfortable handling. 
• Rotation transmitted through an anti-torsion luff rope – optional – slided inside the luff tape and fitted with  thimble on each end (FCI1500 s-s thimbles and FRC s-s clamps also in option). 
• Easy installation of the furling loop (s-s guide + drum notch), discover Facnor SPECIAL GRIP loops for an efficient rotation of the drum and the removable fairleads TSL25/28. 
• Optimize your investment and convert your furlers for the use with your asymmetric Spinnaker, just add FAST 1500 top-down thimble.
