Facnor FX+2500 Flying Sail Furler w/Ratchet

FX+2500 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 12 to 14m (40 to 45 ft.)
• Code sail surface of 100m²/ 1076ft² maximum (max 30m² / 322ft² 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+2500 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+2500 solid sheave as an alternative)
• One shackle as the top swivel attachment (optional SB2500 2-to-1 block 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 (FCI2500 s-s thimbles and FRC s-s clamps are also available)
• 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

Specifications:

*Optimize the investment by converting the furler for use with an asymmetric spinnaker; just add the FAST 2500 top-down thimble.
