FLYING SAIL FURLERS Proven Design, Performance & Reliability Ronstan s Flying Sail Furlers have been developed over recent years for use by some of the world s top racing syndicates. Encouraged by their feedback, a number of design enhancements have been incorporated, resulting in our standard range of furlers that now puts great performance and reliability within the reach of cruising and racing sailors. Advanced drum technology The drum incorporates a sophisticated furling line groove profile and cross hole geometry to grip the furling line securely when furling. This is the same technology developed first by Ronstan for use in our world leading ratchet blocks to grip line gently but securely. When deploying the flying sail the continuous furling line selfejects from the grip zone, remaining stationary for smoother, safer operation with minimum rope wear. Guide rollers minimise friction and rope wear on the furling line, and a floating PTFE perimeter strip ensures the unloaded furling line can t fall from the drum or become snagged. The range matches drum diameters to load ratings for optimum performance. Smaller drum diameters allow faster furling and weight savings, while larger drum diameter options provide a greater mechanical advantage and easier furling. Secure, snag free connections Furlers and top swivels have retained quick release clevis pins and fairleads have a snag free, flush finish captive pin. Maintenance free bearing system Furlers and top swivels feature a factory sealed, maintenance free bearing. Roller bearing sets run on hardened races for smooth high load performance. Material selection for strength and durability Hard anodised grade 606 T6 aluminium construction provides durability and corrosion protection. Grade 05 stainless steel is utilised for the load bearing shaft for optimum strength to weight ratio. Multiple attachment options Attachment options include a high resistance shackle, trigger release snap shackle and fairlead, as well as a hard anodised aluminium thimble designed specifically to suit antitorsion luff line. The furler drum can be adjusted to suit either 0 or 90 attachment, as required to match the takeoff alignment and deck layout. TopDown Furling Systems for Downwind Sails Furling of soft luff downwind sails such as asyetric spinnakers and gennakers is possible utilising a TopDown Adapter with the standard Furler & Top Swivel Set. TopDown furling is simpler, faster and safer than using traditional snuffer/socks. It also allows quick, simple furling and redeployment in variable conditions or when gybing. 0
