Top Down Furling System. Every client that weve supplied with a gx furling system has loved it. The fx furler fitted with the fast thimble allows to furl in the asymmetric spinnakers from the cockpit by pulling the bottom furling line.
As opposed to a traditional foil furling system used on cruising boats where the jibgenoa is hoisted in a luff groove in the aluminium foil and the sail furls around the full. Testers also found the coiling and bagging process more complicated especially on smaller boats. Top down furling systems were originally designed for hard core ocean racers but they can make ripping downwind even more accessible for cruising crews and shorthanded sailors too.
Snap in the furled gennaker and hoist it.
