DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Like the Facnor carbon furling systems on board of Jean Luc Van Den Heede's 80 footer, the Ls/Lx/Rx drum and swivel are fitted with a "bearing box" (see above). This was tested over ocean races under loads up to 20 to 30 times higher than a 30ft cruising boat. Even under high halyard tension furling remains easy. This innovative system is now available for every boat thanks to Facnor continuous development.
- Smooth rotation even under high loads.
- Maintenance free.
- Large range of new sections.
- Strong connections.
- Adjustable guides.
- Insulation between different materials.
- 40 micron hard anodizing.
Fits Boats:24' to 29' (7.5 m to 9 m).
Our Part # FACLS100 | Facnor Part # 10315444600
