FX+1500 Flying Sail Furler with Ratchet

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 10 to 12m (30 to 40 ft.)
  • Code sail surface of 60m²/ 646ft² maximum (max 20m² / 215ft² staysail)
  • Ratchet option Start & Go included (working both clock or anti-clockwise)
  • Unique captive quick-release pin
  • Possible conversion for asymmetric Spinnaker
  • Composite/carbon housing
  • Maintenance-free units (sealed bearings)

The Standard Kit of the FX+1500 Furler Includes:

  • A ratchet in s/s duplex enabling a temporary stop when furling in and a self-locking both clockwise and anti-clockwise (Facnor patent)
  • 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 (FCI1500 s-s thimbles and FRC s-s clamps are also available)
  • Optimize the investment by converting the furlers for use with the asymmetric spinnaker; just add a FAST top-down thimble
