 No more awkward operations on the foredeck, for example to take the sail
down. The Facnor ASYM-FX Furler has been developed through Open 60 race technology.
Ready for use very quickly. Your asymmetric Spinnaker is safely and quickly pulled up, taken
down and stored. Adaptation on existing asymmetric Spinnaker
with only small modifications.
With the Facnor ASYM-FX you will furl your asymmetric Spinnaker as easily as your Gennaker. Handle your sail comfortably from the
cockpit by just pulling the continuous furling line. This operation
will make the drum and then the anti-twist luff rope rotate. The luff rope transmits the rotation to the
central furling rope. This will make the luff of the asymmetric Spinnaker furl from the centre.
The continuous line drum prevents the furling line from overriding. The furling line can be
removed from the drum without any mechanical operation.
