Ronstan Series 280 Furler

Already proven on small and medium-sized yachts, The Series 280 extend the range to boats up to 25m (82ft) in length with the 8000kg (17,600lb) model. Because of the higher loads experienced on larger yachts, the tack line fairlead is a 3:1 instead of 2:1.

Features of the range include:

• A maintenance-free, sealed main bearing system on both the furler and the top swivels which ensures smooth operation and long life.
• A lightweight, machined drum that is matched to the load. This provides the optimum balance between speed and ease of furling.
• There are multiple attachment options which include quick release pins, high resistance shackles, snap shackles, fairleads and torsion rope thimbles.
• The continuous furling line is easily fitted and removed from the furler, so it can be left on deck when the sail and furler are stowed below.
• An optional rotation stop prevents the sail from unfurling accidentally.

• Series 80, 120 & 160 furlers include a standard D shackle on the underside of the furler

• Connection posts of Series 200 & 280 furlers are compatible with shackle, snap shackle or fairlead attachment - supplied separately
