• A furler easy to use and reliable in cruising or racing
• Adapted to sailboat from 12 to 14m (40′ to 45′). 
• For Code sail of 100m²/1076ft²maximum
  (max 30m²/322ft² staysail). 
• Ratchet option Start & Go included (working both clock or anti-clock wise). 
• Unique captive quick-release pin. 
• Possible conversion for asymmetric Spinnaker.

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+ 2500 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+2500 solid sheave as alternative). 
• One shackle as top swivel attachment (optional LB3T 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+2500 “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 (see also optional DC2500 drum cover). 
• Rotation transmitted through an anti-torsion luff rope – optional – slided inside the luff tape and fitted with thimble on each end (FCI2500 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 2500 top-down thimble.
