The FXT is a Gennaker & Code 0 furler. With a discontinued furling line, it works in similar ways as headsail furlers.
The drum is fitted with steel bearings protected by waterproof joints, so is maintenance-free. The furler comes with a Snap shackle under the drum in order to quickly attach it to the boat. The top of the drum features a jaw mechanism, which make sail attachment a lot easier.
A good and economical alternative solution for sailors who prefer a discontinuous furling line. Two models currently cover a range of boats from 30 to 60′. Fully custom sizes can also be offered for boats over 60′.
