Facnor FX+1500 Flying Sail Furler w/Ratchet 43410701545

FX+1500 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 10 to 12m (30 to 40 ft.)
• Code sail surface of 60m²/ 646ft² maximum (max 20m² / 215ft² 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+1500 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+900/1500 solid sheave as an alternative)
• One shackle as the top swivel attachment (optional FRX900/1500 2-to-1 friction ring 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 (FCI1500 s-s thimbles and FRC s-s clamps are also available)
• Optimize the investment by converting the furlers for use with the asymmetric spinnaker; just add a FAST top-down thimble

A shipping confirmation with a tracking link is emailed when your order ships, and tracking may take up to 24 hours to update. You can also view tracking in your account.

Duties, taxes, and support
International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, and fees charged by the destination country.

Quality Boat Parts is a reseller. Many items include a manufacturer’s warranty, and all warranty service is handled directly by the manufacturer. We do not manage or administer warranty claims on behalf of customers.

Warranty terms, coverage, and duration are set by each manufacturer. Issues involving defects, repairs, or replacements must be addressed with the manufacturer’s support team. When available, the warranty period is listed on the product page. If it is not shown, contact us or the manufacturer for details before purchasing.

To start a claim, the customer must contact the manufacturer and follow their process. Keep your proof of purchase and original packaging, and register the product if the manufacturer requires it, as these are often needed for warranty service.

We are happy to help you find the right contact or documentation, but we cannot decide outcomes or intervene in claim resolutions. For guidance, email cs@qualityboatparts.com.
