From its experience in ocean racing equipment, Facnorhas successfully become the official supplier of themonotype MOD70 trimarans. A prestigious victorycarried by its will for taking up challenges.

High level races require a careful preparation similar toFormula 1 stable for which the challenge in technologyis at stake before departure. In this perspective, projectmanagers and technical partners work together before-hand : this is the race before the race! Our teams takeup challenges in order to cross both finish lines.

Multi One design trimarans - the MOD 70’Facnor has worked on many different maxi racing sail-boats projects, such as : VOR 70, Open 60, maxi tri-marans (Groupama and Banque Populaire) and yachts(140 footer Maricha) and today the MOD70. Our part-nerships with skippers like Michel Desjoyeaux are set upon long-term basis. We have successfully gained thetrust of our customers thanks to our responsiveness as

well as our capacity in innovating and supplyingconstant high quality products. Facnor has become theofficial supplier of the MOD70 for furlers and halyardlocks.

The custom projects for ocean cruising or racing maxi-yachts requirehigh tech means: computerised design, technical knowledge in metal-lurgy and composite materials, and a constant updated data-base.Our team offers a good response, an efficient shipping managementas well as an innovative spirit and capacity. Facnor has been success-fully placed at the top rank of custom equipment suppliers.

Its experience of 30 years in manufacturing furling sys-tems has raised Facnor nowadays to high range exper-tise. Its involvement focused in R&D as well as partner-ship with ocean or maxi yacht skippers has pushedFacnor to get even more specialized in tailor made solu-tions.

Facnor and the Maxi-yachts :Furlers of “Haute couture”From its own experience gained in ocean races, Facnorhas been offering Maxi yacht skippers to supply tailormade equipment. The high requiring projects must becarefully carried out : “Furlers of haute couture for highrank cruising”.Facnor is nowadays well-known for its reliable and stur-dy products. This led it to participate in some outstan-ding architectural projects. Recently Facnor supplied thefurling parts for Club Med II the biggest cruising yacht,at 620 foot long.

Know-how & research development

Our Design team creates tailor madeequipment in order to improve the per-formance of the product: tension, resis-tance, weight, handling... Every para-meter is measured and simulatedthanks to our research and develop-ment means.

In comparison with existing products fitted with foil sections, carbonsections features rigidity as well as lightness (40% lighter than foil sec-tions). The “water drop" shaped sections offers better aerodynamis-mics. The installation is simple as the elements are assembled withglue (no screw). This improves the torque resistance of the connectedsections.Two models : SC40 & SC50 - Section length : 4 meters.

Structural furlers support the load of the mast and the headsail:Genoa, Solent, Staysail or ORC. The structural system componentsare: a swivel fixed on the mast, a continuous line drum fixed on thechain plate, and an anti-twist cable (PBO OR Kevlar®) linking bothmechanisms. This cable transfers efficiently the rotation from thedrum to the swivel and is captive from the sail tape. The sail is lat-ched at the tack and halyard points. The advantage of the system isthe total reduction of weight. (See page 30).

FACNOR is "the" precursor in manufac-turing continuous line Code zero &Gennaker furlers. We have sup-plied these since 1998 and inthat we are often copied butnever equalled. Most 60'monohulls and mul-tihulls are now

equipped with Facnor continuous lineCode zero & Gennaker furlers : reliableand safely handled alone. These furlersare designed to support the high wor-king and breaking loads of over 500m2

Gennakers (working loads up to 40tons). (See page 33).

Less compression onto the mast : The loads supported by themast on ocean racing boats are tremendous and additionallyhalyards increase compression in the mast. On the contrary, locksreduce this compression phenomenon and make the detachment ofthe Staysail or Gennaker easier. The halyard lock can be equally fit-ted inside the mast or outside on an existing head attachment (for ins-tance attachment for a removable baby stay). - Internally fitted lock : See next page.- Externally fitted lock : can be fixed onto one head attachment withan articulated device (toggle, latching, Unibal ball or others). In thiscase, a small diameter sheave is integrated in the hooking system.The halyard can then run down inside or outside the mast.

Page 9: 2013 Facnor Cataloguemarinewarehouse.net/images/facnor/facnor_2013_uk_light.pdf · 2019-04-30 · CROATIA RAMINA POMORSTVO - SPLIT Tel. +385 21 398 233 ramina-pomorstvo@st.t-com.hr

Internal halyard locks improve flying sail use (Staysail/Gennaker)and save weight as well as compression in the mast. This simpleand efficient device makes the halyard locking/unlocking easyand safe. The Facnor lock tremendously eases the use of flyingforestays (no need of 2-to-1 block anymore).

Withouthalyard lock, The halyard loadincreases thecompression onthe mast.

The halyard is onlyused to engage or

disengagethe lock.

>> Halyards and sheaves preserved

>> Less compression on the mastHalyards under load running downwards inside the mastincrease the compression on the mast. With the locking devi-ce, the halyard load is transferred to the lock, reducing near-ly by half this compression and allowing lighter mast.

>> Reduction of the boat heel/windagewidely fitted on raceboats, the lock reduces theboat heel and windage, even in cruising.Different possibilities of use :- Gennaker or code zero- Staysail fitted on textile forestay- Staysail fitted on furler with flying wire forestay- Mainsail : back face of the mast, on request

Webbing fitting : - efficient and quick installation :thanks to a complete kit(included. see p.17)- The furling line guide leavesvarious possible ways of fittings.Your Facnor agent will suggest you the most adapted solu-tion.

Furling system assembly : - Like LS/LX/RX ranges (see page 14), the drum fittingdepends on the forestay terminal (see page 14). - You can even change your LX/LS/RX drum for a FlatDeckone with keeping the existing foil sections.

Dimensions : the gain in luff length with low profile FDdrum is obvious (see chart below). To achieve this aim, thebase of the drum has been lowered and standard link platesare shorts (see table against).

Furling line leads : The s-s leads are simply screwedround the stanchion. They have been specially designed forthe free running of swivel through. The kit includes ablock to be fitted at the first front.Ref. 25200000300

Adjusting the furling line guide :The furling line guide are adjustable in order to fitdifferent deck configurations (4 screws - see rep. A).

Easy access to the turnbuckle :- installation with turnbuckle or eye ter-minal + link plate.

Ring for turnbuckle access : - easy and quick access to the forestayterminal (eye, turnbuckle,...) for asimple check or a slight adjustment- this ring fitting sets separately theforestay from the drum. By removing afew screws, the drum can be lifted up.Moreover, this fitting contributes to anadditional articulation of the furling sys-tem that eases the drum bearings.

Univiversal Spi spectacles :Halyard handlingIf the angle between the halyard and the fores-tay is too narrow (less than 15°), it is recom-mended to add universal spi spectacle to openthis angle. It prevents the halyard from wrap-ping around the forestay. (Sparcraft spectaclerange)

90° for the furling line :Whatever furling model (LS, LX, RX or FD), thefurling line must run with 90° angle from theforestay (see against).

LS-LX-RX models: the furling line must runthrough one s-s guide.

Halyard deflector wheel :It prevents the halyard from wrapping roundthe forestay and also deflects Spinnaker

halyard. It is important to maintain this part to protect theforestay.

Continuous line drum torqueThe large diameter of the continuousline drum increases the furling powerand reduces efforts. And it also pre-vents the furling line from overriding.

Anti-twist terminalThe terminal (thimble or threaded connec-tion) transmits the rotation to the textile stay.

Head swivellinks the stay to the mast,

mast loads.

Anti-twist structural stayit supports the mast and also transmits therotation of the bottom drum to the swivel

Facnor has adapted the Open 60’ Staysail furlers to other ranges of fastracing boats. These structural furlers support mast loads and can entirely furlin and out headsails (such as Solent, Staysail, Genoa). This system particu-larly dedicated to racing boats, like Class 40’ is also supplied on ocean crui-sing yachts for Staysails.

Fur l ing power & per formance14-100 TSTRUCTURAL FURL ING SYSTEMS

14-100 T structural furler features : ■ Saving in weight (up to 3 times lighter than a conventional furling system)

■ Great furling power with large diameter drum

■ Maximum luff thanks to the low profile drum

■ simple installation fitting various forestay terminals (see against)

■ Possibility to tighten the halyard with a 2-to-1 block at the bottom

■ Resistant and tested for heavy loads

■ Mechanisms fitted with jaws or threaded connection

Two possible assembliesThe structural furlerscan be connected ontothe textile stay with clas-sic thimbles or threadedcone-shaped terminals(Navtec system)

The in/out furling system: This in/out system enables a perfor-mance sail cut with belly lowered and holds the mast at the front. it holdsthe mast at the front. The forestay, traditionally in high quality textilefibres, turns. By pulling the continuous line, the drum generates the rota-tion to the thimble of the textile forestay and the attached tack of the sail.Easy and efficient. This furling gear has been chosen by class 40’ and 60’ but also crui-sing sailboats skippers.

GENNAKER & CODE ZERO FURLERSSai l ing fas t and sa fe

FXT Gennaker and Code Zerofurler is fitted with jaw for attachment ofanti twist luff rope and asnap shackle at thebottom (deck fitting) :it is quickly installedand removed afteruse. The FXT is fittedwith steel bearingsprotected by waterproffjoints (maintenance free). A good techni-cal and economical alternative solution forusers who prefer a discontinuous furlingline.

* The S.W.L. is the maximum safe working load over which distortions of the furlercan appear. This load is approx. 50% of the breaking load (depending on models)

■ The swivel and the drum are fitted with the same bearings (topshackle for halyard fitting).

■ Leading in Gennaker furler manufacturing Facnor has acquired along experience on this type of products - tested during ocean racesin extremely tough conditions.

The wide FX range from 16’ day boat to 100’ mega yachts :

The Gennaker conti-nuous line furler FX aremade of one swivel and oneflat continous line drum (maxi-mum luff and no overlappinground the drum)). Thelarge diameter givesmore furling power. It ishalf weight of a stan-dard Gennaker furler.

Removing the furling line : Thanks to a clever innovation, the continuousfurling line can be quickly removed without any complication. This special featureoffers the advantage that the furling line can remain on the deck for further use.

Easy installed and stored : The continuous drum is fitted with quick-release-pin fastenings (snap shackles or special textile shackles) that make forquick and easy installation and removal of the Gennaker or Code 0.

Quick - release - pin fastenings : The sail canbe removed from the furler in one "click". Fitted with :- FX 2500, 4500 & 7000 : special safety-clip fastening- FX 900 & 1500 : G-ring- FX 12 000 & FX 20 000 : push-pin.

Easy change and re-use of continuous line furler :As it is very simple to remove the sail from the furler and to fit the block option onto the swivel, the Gennaker can be quickly changed for the staysail if needed*.* provided that the loads are equivalent for both sails (see pages 35 & 39). Your Facnor agentwill suggest you the most adapted solution.

Use conditions :The use range of the sails as shownon the diagram opposite varies withthe force of the wind. We can main-ly bear in mind that the FX furlersare better adapted for use with

flying headsails between beam and broad reach (i.e.Code Zero and Gennaker). The complementary use withcloser reach headsails is possible, however, under cer-tain conditions. (see page 35)

Installation of the Code zero and Gennaker furler:the short sequence below shows how easily the Gennaker furler is installed :

- Lie the Gennaker furled on the deck, fit the bottom thimble onto the drum (fig 1&2);- Fit the upper thimble onto the swivel (fig 3), and adjust the bowsprit (fig 4);- Hoist (fig 5), unfurl while controlling the sheet (fig 6). Ready !Note: always keep the reefing line under tension and fit a line stopper. Lower the furled sail after use.

Full mainsail set : Above a certain area, a fullbatten mainsail needs to be fitted with ballbearing cars for more comfortable cruising. Inaddition to Lazy-jacks, Facslide® allows easyhoisting, lowering and reefing of the mainsail.Furthermore, the new reefing locks completescunningly this car and track device. For main-sails without full batten, the Facnor CF furlinggear remains an alternative equipment.

■ No modification of the mast : The tracks are easilyfitted to your mast with slugs without unstepping and modi-fying it. The various types of slugs ensurethe compatibility of our system to mostexisting mast grooves. The tracks areCNC drilled with high precision. Made ofaluminium extrusion, they are also per-fectly straight.

■ Tracks : Two types of tracks accor-ding to the mainsail area :

- Facslide+ : new anodization (black) - F40 : colorless anodization

- See against the installation of the tracksand dimensions p. 46.

■ Cars references :- Batten cars : FL10, FL20, FL30, FL40.- Intermediates cars : FI10, FI20, FI30, FI40.

■ Compact Facslide set :- including: 2m tracks, one head board car, batten and intermediatecars- for a reduced cars height when mainsail lowered, it is possible tomix different car models on FR25x15 tracks, such as FT20 + FL20 +Fi10.

- Two types of slugs : flat and round- Various sizes available (see table p. 46 or askto your Facnor dealer)

FR40 tracksFor F40 carsLength = 1,7 meter.

Salted water at the head...Even though the head cars arepositioned 10 meter high, theyreceive sea water, therefore donot hesitate to rinse the cars withfresh water.Facnor advice: once a year puta drop of washing up liquid onthe car balls.

Functionning :This clever device locks the attachmentof the mainsail reefing point onto theback of the boom. This installation isparticularly helpful on board of multi-hulls equipped with powerful mainsailand also in case of reduced sailingcrew.

The advantages :- This lock eases the reefing line fromthe load that the line normally sup-ports (compression onto the boom),the elasticity of the rope in case oflong reefing line is consequently dimi-nished;- A stopper is no more necessary forthe reefing line.

The handling : After a basic preparation (mainsail sheetslack, etc, …) :Locking : 1. Tighten the reefing line2. Keep on tightening it as far as possible 3. Let it go.Unlocking : 1. Tighten the reefing line as far as possible2. Let it go 3. Give slack.

Choice of the lock model : Lots of parameters are to betaken into account when choosing a lock, however, the mostimportant criteria is the load level applied to the mainsail.Therefore, it is recommended to check with the naval architector sailmaker the value of these loads.

Halyard swivel

Bottom sections designThe section design prevents damaging thesail. The edges of the housing section incor-porate a round groove so that a spare sail orprotection strip can be hoisted.

Boom equipmentTwo versions available :- “standard” and “special” -allows perfect positioning ofthe clew. (see against p. 49).

Furling sections(2 meters long)

They fit inside the hou-sing sections. The sailis furled round them.

The Facnor mainsail furling system makes your sailing safe and comfortable. No more effort to reef thesail in choppy seas: with simple handling, you will always have the right area of sail adapted to thewind conditions. No more folding or flaking the sail: with simple handling, your mainsail is quickly fur-led or unfurled. Your boat will always be ready to leave with sails already set up.

Simplicity in the design :

A furling system that turns a headsail insi-de housing sections. The drive unit of thesections is situated just above the gooseneck and is operated with a continuousfurling line (Facnor patent).

Simplicity of installation& strong fixing :

The housing sections are fixed with slugsalongside the mast (drilling not necessa-ry). The drive unit is easy to install anddoes not require any modification to thegooseneck. This kit is suitable for most ofthe masts and is quickly fitted withoutunstepping the mast. The CF mainsail fur-ling system is produced using high techmeans.

CF CF MAINSAIL FURLERSS a i l i n g e f f o r t l e s s

- RC80 & RC 105 standard version (standard delivered) :track on which a ball bearing car fitted with a shackle.Track installation : with slugs, like the housing sections(see pict 1).

- KB80 & KB105 special version (optional) :This KB version allows not to use the boom sheaves, often inade-quate due to their small diameter and their lack of ball bearingsor needles. The KB boomkit includes a ball bea-ring car fitted with apivoting sheave, 2 need-le bearing sheaves (1front and 1 back) and aspecial end stop.(see pict 2).

Easy fixing of the housing sections :The housing sections are fitted to the mast byinserting slugs inside the mast groove (see p.46).The housing sections and the slugs are fixedtogether by stainless steel screws and Nylocknuts. All housing sections are pre-drilled and nomodification has to be done on your mast.

Housing and furling sectionsThese sections are made of extruded aluminiumand anodised after machining. They combine resistance andlightness. The furling sections are twin groove.The standardlength of the housing section is 1.70 meter in order to lowerfreight cost.

Range of mainsail furling systems suitable for 6 to 17 metersailing boat. The chart below allows to determine the modelthat suits your boat (please ask for advice to our dealers, seeon the web site).
