 The RC continuous line furling range is fitted with a low profile drum giving a maximum luff length. The continuous line wheel generates a constant torque and prevents line from overlapping. These specific
performances and safety features combined with sturdiness, have lead to a wide reputation specially for single-handed sailing.
The RC low drum design meets the satisfaction of the most requiring sailors who like discreet and neat products.

From racing to cruising with the RC furler
In the past the continuous line furling systems used to be fitted on
Gennaker furlers or Headsail structural furlers. However, they are now
available on the Facnor RC headsail reefing systems. Compared to a conventional
drum, the advantages of a continuous line system are numerous: a bigger luff available, greater furling
power due to a larger diameter drum, no risk of overriding. A technology directly developed from
racing Gennaker furlers or "structural systems" fitted on Open 60's.
Furthermore, this model can be fitted on existing Facnor reefing system (R range).
The “Facnor Future Furler” allows sailors to reef headsails quickly and safely using the same innovative system used by single-handed and multihull ocean racing yachts. The continuous line system eliminates the possibilty of drum over-rides with a single loop of line operating a large diameter drum.
The drum is specially designed to tightly grip the furling line and has more turning power than traditional furling units. It is fitted with fair leads and a stainless steel line guide that securely hold the line onto the drum even in the roughest conditions. The low, flat design keeps the jib tack close to the deck and allows for the longest possible luff length, which is ideal for racing. The furling drum can be retrofitted to most existing Facnor furling units and is easy to install.
