 Facnor adapted the racing structural furler developed for ocean Open 60’
to 24 to 30 ft sailing boats. These furlers are in/out systems for Solent or
small Genoa. They give the possibility of hoisting quickly a sail fitted with
hanks as on any conventional forestay. This Facnor system is especially suitable
for racing yachts.
Facnor STG In / Out Systems
Unlike the headsail furling and reefing system, but like the Gennaker furler, the structural wire furler does not
allow reefing of the sail. It is an in/out system. The sail set on structural wire furler can be fitted with hanks
or zip luff. The furling principle is simple: the continuous line drum transfers the rotation to the tack of the
sail that furls round the forestay. After a few turns, the rotation is quickly transferred to the top of the sail. With
the halyard swivel the sail can be quickly hoisted and lowered the sail as requested.
Facnor Wire Furlers - Maximum Luff & Lightness
The structural wire furler offers the same advantages as the continuous
line drum: a constant furling power, a maximum luff thanks to the low
profile drum that keeps the jib tack low. Extra feature: the saving in
weight compared to a classic drum is around 10kg less than a conventional
furling system. Ideal for racing boats!
Facnor STG 3T / 4T Structural Wire Furler
Facnor supplies the First
Class 7500, produced by
Bénéteau. This boat has
been designed by Finot-
Fauroux architects in partnership
with the French
Sailing Federation. The
choice of the Class 7500
illustrates the perfect suitability
between the STG 3T / 4T
and the racing monotype
boats.
The structural furler holds the mast unlike the Facnor Gennaker
furler. Therefore, it supports the forestay loads. The principle
is the same as the custom structural furlers installed
on ocean racing mono- and multi hulls. However, the custom
products are fitted with anti-twist fibre cable. The Facnor STG
3T only requires a standard monotoron wire forestay.
