Seldén now introduces Furlex 50 S - a new jib furling system for 4 - 5mm ø forestays.
This is an ideal product for keelboats in the 18 - 26' range.
Furlex 50 is a small and sailboat lightjib reefing. Total weight is only 7kg for the shortest 4mm ø version. The drum diameter is only 120mm.
Furlex 50S has most of the functions found on the bigger Furlex systems. It features stainless steel ball boat bearings, load distributor in the composite halyard boat swivel, distance tubes to centre and insulate the forestay wire, stainless connecting boat plates for easy installation, halyard lead and prefeeder. It comes complete, including a new forestay wire. Easy to buy, easy to install and, most importantly, easy to furl.
The main differences compared to the bigger units in the Furlex series are a single groove foil as opposed to twin groove, and fixed drum as opposed to a detachable drum. As these size sailboat boats normally sail with the jib completely unfurled, Furlex 50S does not have a tack ring to flatten out a reefed sail.
The Furlex 50S will be available through Seldén’s extensive dealer network spring 2008.
Recommended retail price, approximately €525 - 700 excluding taxes.
