 The Facnor Fx furler has been designed to easily furl your
Gennaker or Code 0. Moreover, our design team has
developed unique innovations in order to safely and
quickly install the furler.
Facnor continuous line Code zero & gennaker furler (FX) are made of two main components,
one flat continous line drum and one swivel. This model eliminates the override of the furling line
(no overlapping round the drum). The low profile design of the drum allows a maximum luff and the large
diameter gives more furling power. It is half weight of a standard Gennaker furler. The new opening guide
makes the Fx furler easier to use. Facnor offers a wide range of gennaker furlers suitable from
6.50 up to the mega-yachts. Facnor, as originator of Gennaker continuous line furlers, has
the longest experience in this type of products.

| About Gennaker Code Zero Furlers |
Read About Gennaker FX Furlers Accessories
 Facnor furlers are equipped with snap shackles for faster hook-ups for setting, this is also convenient for quickly clearing the foredeck. Code Zeros are very large sails and can be difficult to handle because they are usually set when close reaching, causing the sail to beat against the mast and rigging until full. Hoisting the sail in the furled position offers complete control until the sail is unrolled. This is advantageous in both heavy and light air. Either racing or cruising, the Facnor gennaker furler is the perfect complement to the Jib furler.
Facnor Endless Line Gennaker & Code 0 Furlers
Like the structural furler, the Code zero & Gennaker furler is an in/out system that does not allow reefing of the sail. The anti-twist rope is captive within the sail luff tape. The sail head and tack are seized to thimbles. These are fixed to the swivel and the drum with quick-release pins. The advantage is the quick installation. The furled sail can quickly be stored after use. With the Facnor Code zero & Gennaker furler, no more knots with the Spinnaker around the forestay: in light wind the Code zero & Gennaker can be quickly hoisted and unfurled. This is perfect when you are sailing before the wind: with Facnor the performance is worry free.
Facnor is the only furling manufacturer to offer such a wide range of products with so many sailing miles completed under the roughest conditions.
