- A furler easy to use and reliable in cruising or racing.
- Adapted to sailboat from 16 to 20m (55′ to 70′).
- For Code sail of 250m²/2690ft²maximum (max 70m²/753ft² staysail).
- Ratched 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+ 7000 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+7000 solid sheave as alternative).
- One shackle as top swivel attachment (optional LB7T 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+7000 “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 DC7000 drum cover).
- Rotation transmitted through an anti-torsion luff rope – optional – slided inside the luff tape and fitted with thimble on each end (FCA7000 aluminum 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 7000 top-down thimble.
