Facnor FX+2500 Flying Sail Furler w/Ratchet 43410702545

FX+2500 Flying Sail Furler with Ratchet

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+. These furlers are known to be light, easy to fit, and aesthetic. Also, this furler is reliable for cruising or racing.

Features:

• Adapted to sailboat from 12 to 14m (40 to 45 ft.)
• Code sail surface of 100m²/ 1076ft² maximum (max 30m² / 322ft² staysail)
• Ratchet option Start & Go included (working both clock or anti-clockwise)
• Unique captive quick-release pin
• Possible conversion for asymmetric Spinnaker
• Composite/carbon housing
• Maintenance-free units (sealed bearings)

The Standard Kit of the FX+2500 Furler Includes:

• A ratchet in s/s duplex enabling a temporary stop when furling in and a self-locking both clockwise and anti-clockwise (Facnor patent)
• One continuous line drum in anodized aluminum and CNC machined in a solid block, protected by a composite/carbon housing, low-profile drum
• One swivel also in anodized aluminum and CNC machined in a solid block, including a neoprene anti-impact cover with high-visibility marking
• One snap shackle as the bottom drum attachment (optional SSH+2500 solid sheave as an alternative)
• One shackle as the top swivel attachment (optional SB2500 2-to-1 block as an alternative)

Offers Comfort in Sail Handling, Reliability, and Easy Manipulation:

• Monoblock's conception of the mechanisms for more sturdiness and long-lasting
• Intuitive manipulation to connect the sail to the mechanisms thanks to a fitted-in, compact, and unique captive quick-release pin
• Bottom drive unit with a largely dimensioned diameter for strong torque and therefore more comfortable handling
• Is rotation transmitted through an anti-torsion luff rope? Optional—sliding inside the luff tape and fitted with a thimble on each end (FCI2500 s-s thimbles and FRC s-s clamps are also available)
• Easy installation of the furling loop (s-s guide + drum notch), discover Facnor Special GRIP loops for an efficient rotation of the drum, and the removable fairleads TSL25/28

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
