Further to constructive technical exchanges with ocean racers, Facnor has developed for over 20 years a sophisticated range of Gennaker/Code Zero furlers: the FX+. A true evolution: light, easy to fit and aesthetic. Fitted on request with a ratchet device securing the furling, locking both clockwise and anti-clockwise (Facnor patent).

The FX+ 4500 furler is an ?in/out system? for flying sails fitted with anti-twist rope integrated in the luff tape.

• Standard attachments: shackle above the swivel (2-to-1 SB4500 block optional) and snap shackle underneath the drum (SSH+4500 solid sheave optional)
• Protection Anti-impact neoprene cover for swivel (delivered in the standard Fx+ kit)
• Rotation transmitted through an anti-torsion luff rope fitted with thimble on each end (optional)
• Intuitive manipulation to connect the sail to the mechanisms thanks to integrated and compact device (smooth push spring release) making the pin captive
• Bottom drive unit with largely dimensioned diameter for a strong torque and therefore more comfortable handling
• Easy installation of the furling loop
