Continuous Line Furling Leads

Continuous line furlers are worked with an endless furling line spliced into a loop, so ordinary blocks cannot be used to lead it back to the cockpit. Finding the right "end" and keeping friction low is what lets you douse the sail fast. The layout runs furler → double fairlead(s) on the stanchions → twin-cam block aft.

Double Fairlead and Twin-Cam Block

Part no.	Item	Notes
480-501-01R	Double fairlead	Composite bracket with a spring-loaded "push-and-twist" stainless bale; fits a 25 mm or 30 mm stanchion. Keeps the two parts of the line apart and low friction.	View part →
405-001-40R	Fiddle twin-cam block	Max ø10 mm line	View part →
406-001-40R	Fiddle twin-cam block	ø12 mm line	View part →

The twin-cam block is fitted aft and shows you the right "end" of the line. Before hoisting the furled sail, tension the line and lock it in the cleats of the twin-cam block: the sail cannot unfurl prematurely.
