“SX” Retro-fitting : boat owners possessing a Facnor LS/LX fur-ling equipment (SX sections) can enjoy the confort and performan-ce brought by the drum FD models (FD90, FD170, FD210, FD280).For further information, please contact your Facnor agent.

FD Standard kit : - drum- internal turnbuckle fitting- short link plates- R sections + connexions- halyard swivel- webbing/ rope kit

Webbing / Furling rope kit :- See description of the furling line kit (see against). The webbingis connected to the line with a swivel. This highresistance swivel (more than 1 ton load) preventsthe webbing from twisting. The oblong design ofthe swivel guarantees a free run.

Foil sections :As performance orientated products, one FD range is supplied withthin and lighter “R” foil sections. The other FD range, more adap-ted for cruising, is fitted with round “SX” sections (see page 22).

EASY INSTAL LAT ION WEBB ING & DRUM

Webbing fitting : - efficient and quick installation :thanks to a complete kit (inclu-ded. see p.13)- The furling line guide leavesvarious possible ways of fittings.Your Facnor agent will suggest you the most adapted solution.

Furling system assembly : - Like LS/LX/RX ranges, the drum fitting depends on theforestay terminal (see page 10). - You can even change your LX/LS/RX drum for a FlatDeckone with keeping the existing foil sections.

Dimensions : the gain in luff length with low profile FDdrum is obvious (see chart below). To achieve this aim, thebase of the drum has been lowered and standard link platesare short (see table against).

Furling line leads : The s-s leads are simply screwedround the stanchion. They have been specially designed forthe free running of the swivel. The kit includes an articulatedlead (new) to be fitted at the first front.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURL ING L INE F ITT ING

w w w . f a c n o r . c o m

16 /

Halyard angle with forestay :- It must be situated between 15 and 25°

- Distance between halyard swivel & top car must not mea-sure more than 150mm.

A = mini 50 mm and maxi 80 mm between halyard deflec-tor wheel and bottom end of the forestay terminal.

B = 78 mm

C = 80 mm max. between the halyard swivel & the top car(after sail stretching)

Note: These average values fluctuate according to the mastgeometry. We strongly recommend that you instruct askilled professional to install your furling system (see ourworldwide agent network on www.facnor.com)

Univiversal Spi spectacles :Halyard handling

If the angle between the halyard and the forestayis too narrow (less than 15°), it is recommendedto add universal spi spectacle to open this angle.It prevents the halyard from wrapping aroundthe forestay. (Sparcraft spectacle range)

90° for the furling line :Whatever furling model (LS, LX, RX or FD), the furling line mustrun with 90° angle from the forestay (see against).

LS-LX-RX models: the furling line must run through one s-s guide.

Halyard deflector wheel :It prevents the halyard from wrapping roundthe forestay and also deflects Spinnaker

halyard. It is important to maintain this part to protect theforestay.

Operating in any circumstances :The “FACNOR emergency system” is made up of anotched drive wheel and a continuous line. If an elec-

trical failure were to occur, this device allows the ope-rator to quickly and easily furl in the headsail(standingone meter behind).

Self-locking device :The Facnor emergency system is fittedlike the emergency handle, with a stan-dard square drive winch socket.

Continous furling lineOnce the wheel is fixed, stand one meterbehind the pulpit and pull the continuousline to manually operate the furling sys-tem.

Structural furlers : the in/out furling systemsThe structural furler - unlike the Gennaker furler -supports both mast and sail loads. The Facnor14-100T systems are fitted with anti-twist fiberforestay from 40 footers. Their reliability widelytested on ocean races has enabled Facnor toenlarge the range from 14 to 100 tons. The dif-ferent STG 3-4T/STB 3T/SFT3T, must be fittedwith a classic wire forestay from 24 to 30 footers.

Facnor has adapted the Open 60’ Staysail furlers to other ranges of fast racingboats. These structural furlers support mast loads and can entirely furl in and outheadsails (such as Solent, Staysail, Genoa). This system particularly dedicated toracing boats, like Class 40’ is also supplied on ocean cruising yachts for Staysails.

14-100 T structural furler features : � Saving weight (up to 3 times lighter than a

conventional furling system)

� Stronger furling power with large diame-

ter drum

� Maximum luff thanks to the low pro-

file drum (continuous line drum)

� Simple installation fitting various forestay terminals (see opposite)

� Resistant and tested for heavy loads

� Tensioning halyard possible by bottom 2-to-1 (see

terminal options)

Two possible assemblies

The structural furlerscan be connectedonto the textile staywith classic thimblesor threaded cone-shaped terminals(Navtec system)

The in/out furling system: - This in/out system enables a performance sail (Solent, Staysail, Genoa).- Structural system : the forestsay (high quality textile fibers) turnsand holds the mast.

A long experience in supplying top high quality racingGennaker furlers has led Facnor to be a reliable partner for thefastest sailing boats. Facnor has kept the same innovative spiritin developing a full range of furlers : the FX+ for Codezero/Gennakers and the FAST thimble for the asymmetricSpinnakers. As a complementary equipment to flying sails, theinnovative bowsprit makes cruising easier.

* SWL maxi : see note at bottom of page

� The swivel and the drum are fitted with the same bearings (topshackle for halyard fitting).

� Leading in Gennaker furler manufacturing Facnor has acquired along experience on these types of products - tested during oceanraces in extremely tough conditions.

The main criteria (but not exhaustive) to select the model Gennakerand Code Zero furler model is the loads of the sail (see below) :

The wide FX range from 16’ day boat to 100’ mega yachts : The Gennaker continuousline furler FX+ are made ofone swivel and one flat continousline drum (maximum luff and nooverlapping round the drum)).The large diameter gives morefurling power. It is half theweight of a standardGennaker furler.

* SWL maxi : see note at bottom of page

* The S.W.L. is the maximum safe working load over which distortions of the furler canappear. This load is approx. 50% of the breaking load (depending on models)

Staysail on a FX+ furler : a Staysailcan be fitted ona FX+ furler sothat a stormsailcan be usedaccording to theweather condi-tions. In thisconf igurat ion,we recommendto install a 2-to-1block (halyardbetter tighten

USE CONDITIONS OF THE FXT or FX FURLER

Installation of tthe furling line (fig. 1,2,3,4) : through one guideexit fit the line into the round and smooth notch situated on the drum edge. Then,simply turn the drum and the line up to the opposite guide exit. Easy to deinstall.

Easy installed and stored:- top and bottom adjustable fastenings : snapshakle or shackle.- adapted systems for asymmetric Spinnakers and attachments see page 34.

Secure sail connection:- The sail can be removed from the furler in one "click".- Smooth push spring release device* with captive quick releasepin for FX+1500/2500/4500/7000/12000/20000 models.* except FX+900 secured with clevis pin

Used for different sails :As it is very simple to disconnect the sail from the furler and to fit a 2-to-1 block onthe swivel, the Gennaker can be quickly changed for the staysail if needed*.* provided that the loads are equivalent for both sails (see pages 31). Your Facnor agent willadvise you on the best possible solution.

Use conditionsThe use range of the sails as shownon the diagram opposite varies withthe force of the wind. We can main-ly bear in mind that the FX furlers arebetter adapted for use with flying

headsails between beam and broad reach (i.e. CodeZero and Gennaker). The complementary use with closerreach headsails is possible, however, under certainconditions. (see page 31)

Installation of the Code Zero and Gennaker furler with the FX+:The short sequence below shows how easily the Gennaker furler is installed :

- Lay the furled Gennaker on the deck (fig. 1). Install the furling line round the drum (fig. 2). See below for details;- Fasten the upper thimble onto the swivel protected by the a neoprene cover, supplied in the kit (fig.3). Attachthe drum onto the chain plate or bowsprit (fig. 4). Adjust the bowsprit and secure with a bridle- Check that the halyard is clear, hoist the sail (fig 5), tighten and control the sail sheet (fig 6). Ready!Note: always keep the reefing line under tension and fit a line stopper. Lower the furled sail after use.

Functionning :This clever device locks the attachmentof the mainsail reefing point onto theback of the boom. This installation isparticularly helpful on board of multi-hulls equipped with powerful mainsailand also in case of reduced sailingcrew.

The advantages :- This lock eases the reefing line fromthe load that the line normally sup-ports (compression onto the boom),the elasticity of the rope in case oflong reefing line is consequently dimi-nished;- A stopper is no more necessary forthe reefing line.

The handling : After a basic preparation (mainsail sheetslack, etc, …) :Locking : 1. Tighten the reefing line2. Keep on tightening it as far as possible 3. Let it go.Unlocking : 1. Tighten the reefing line as far as possible2. Let it go 3. Give slack.

Choice of the lock model : Lots of parameters are to betaken into account when choosing a lock, however, the mostimportant criteria is the load level applied to the mainsail.Therefore, it is recommended to check with the naval architector sailmaker the value of these loads.

Simplicity in the design :

A furling system that turns a headsailinside housing sections. The drive unit ofthe sections is situated just above thegoose neck and is operated with a conti-nuous furling line (Facnor patent).

Simplicity of installation& strong fixing :

The housing sections are fixed with slugsalongside the mast (drilling not necessa-ry). The drive unit is easy to install anddoes not require any modification to thegooseneck. This kit is suitable for most ofthe masts and is quickly fitted withoutunstepping the mast. The CF mainsailfurling system is produced using hightech means.

CF ENROULEURS DE GV CFS a i l i n g e f f o r t l e s s

- RC80 & RC 105 standard version (standard delivered) :track on which a ball bearing car fitted with a shackle.Track installation : with slugs, like the housing sections(see pict 1).

- KB80 & KB105 special version (optional) :This KB version allows not to use the boom sheaves, often inade-quate due to their smalldiameter and their lackof ball bearings orneedles. The KB boom kitincludes a ball bearingcar fitted with a pivotingsheave, 2 needle bearingsheaves (1 front and 1back) and a special endstop.(see pict 2).

Easy fixing of the housing sections :The housing sections are fitted to the mast byinserting slugs inside the mast groove (see p.46).The housing sections and the slugs are fixedtogether by stainless steel screws and Nylocknuts. All housing sections are pre-drilled and nomodification has to be done on your mast.

Housing and furling sectionsThese sections are made of extruded aluminiumand anodised after machining. They combine resistance andlightness. The furling sections are twin groove.The standardlength of the housing section is 1.70 meter in order to lowerfreight cost.
