A structural furler is a lean and efficient alternative to the traditional roller furler. With the elimination of the aluminum profiles and the replacement of the stainless steel forestay by a textile forestay, the weight saving is impressive. The vast majority of sailing racing boats use a structural furler. This solution is less common on cruising sailboats because a sail on a structural furler cannot be used partially furled (ribbed). About 80% of structural furlers are sold in a drum version instead of the continuous line wheel.
Under its sleek silhouette hides a concentrate of technology
A structural furler is usually used with an anti-torsion textile forestay
A sail on a structural furler cannot be fixed
Structural furler sails are usually directly attached by a lashing on the swivel. In order to optimize the weight and shape stability of the sail, there is no halyard. We offer an optional lock system (KHL interface).
