Features

Wrapstop (patented)

fits to the top of the forestay

• Prevents halyard wrap around the forestay.
• Keeps spinnaker halyard clear from halyard swivel.
• Prevents overhoisting of the swivel if the sail is too long or too tight.
• Avoids drilling holes in the mast to fit bales or blocks; eliminates halyard chafe and the added stress of bales or blocks.

Halyard Swivel (patented)

• Hardened carbon steel ball bearings lubricated for life with an electrolytic action grease, and permanently sealed with a double-lip seal.
• Totally maintenance free system, because it is 100% waterproof (salt water, too!).
• Runs smoothly even when under high loads. Rotation of genoa head is synchronized with the luff groove.
• No stress on the head of the sail.

Couplings (patented)

Self locking couplings machined to exacting specifications:

• Installation is easy and safe.
• Perfect connection alignment of extrusions.
• Couplings are securely locked at each joint. Torque induced locking of the couplings.
• Assures continuous secure alignment of luff grooves.
• Assembly with compound-locked screws enables easy dismantling for storage, transportation or forestay inspection

Bushings (patented)

• Graphite-nylon material
• No corrosion or chafe on the cable.
• Smooth rotation around the forestay
• No chafe after 50,000 nautical miles, especially the top bushing which is heavily loaded.
• Bushing is fixed in the coupling and is secured and safe

Extrusions (patented)

• Asymetrical luff groove shape makes hoisting easy
• Prevents bolt rope jamming in the groove.
• Optimizes aerodynamic performance.
• Extrusions of a unique high-tech highly resistant aluminium alloy.
• Optimizes torque resistance in areas of maximum stress.

Reefing Drum (patented)

• Thick polypropylene material, the same as used for automobiles bumpers
• Resists extreme impact; dent-proof, crack-proof.
• No Corrosion and unaffected by Ultra Violet light (UV).
• Conical edges of the flanges pulls the furling line automatically to the middle of the drum preventing jamming of the line.
• Furling line is always visible and easily accessible
• No potential jamming of the furling line as possible with a closed drum. No lead arm.
• No chance of jamming with a loop or not in the furling line.
• No chance of twisting or damage when handling an anchor or spinnaker pole. Slippery material.
• Drum in two halves (B35): Furling line is attached to an aluminium fitting inside the drum cylinder avoiding damage to the drum in case the line is winched when the drum is totally empty.
