Series 100 Furler Set, Furler and Top Swivel, 100 mm Drum
Advanced drum technology
The drum incorporates a sophisticated furling line groove profile and cross hole
geometry to grip the furling line securely when furling. This is the same
technology developed first by Ronstan for use in our world leading ratchet
blocks to grip line gently but securely. When deploying the flying sail the
continuous furling line self-ejects from the grip zone, remaining stationary for
smoother, safer operation with minimum rope wear. Guide rollers minimise
friction and rope wear on the furling line, and a floating PTFE perimeter strip
ensures the unloaded furling line can’t fall from the drum or become snagged.
The range matches drum diameters to load ratings for optimum performance.
Smaller drum diameters allow faster furling and weight savings, while larger
drum diameter options provide a greater mechanical advantage and easier furling.
Secure, snag free connections
Furlers and top swivels have retained quick release clevis pins and fairleads
have a snag free, flush finish captive pin.
Maintenance free bearing system
Furlers and top swivels feature a factory sealed, maintenance free bearing.
Hardened roller bearings and races provide smooth high load performance.
Material selection for strength and durability
Hard anodised grade 6061 T6 aluminium construction provides durability and
corrosion protection. Grade 2205 stainless steel is utilised for the load
bearing shaft for optimum strength to weight ratio.
Multiple attachment options
Attachment options include a high resistance shackle, trigger release snap
shackle and fairlead, as well as a hard anodised aluminium thimbles designed
specifically to suit anti-torsion luff line. The furler drum can be set at
either 0° or 90° attachment; as required to match the take-off alignment and
deck layout.
