Refined Design,
Performance & Reliability
Our Continuous Line Furlers put great performance and reliability within
the reach of cruising and racing sailors alike.
Advanced drum technology
The range matches drum diameters to load ratings providing the optimum balance
between speed and ease of furling. Drums incorporate a machined groove pro昀椀le
and cross-hole geometry to grip the furling line securely. When deploying the sail
the continuous furling line self-ejects from the grip zone, remaining stationary for
smoother, safer operation with minimum rope wear. A low friction plastic perimeter
strip ensures the unloaded furling line can’t fall from the drum or become snagged.
Maintenance free bearing system
Furlers and top swivels feature a factory sealed, maintenance free bearing. Roller
bearing sets run on hardened races for smooth high load performance.
Easy continuous line installation and removal
The continuous furling line is easily 昀椀tted and removed from the furler, so it can be left
on deck when the sail and furler are stowed below.
Top-Down models for soft luff sails
Top-down furling provides a new level of simplicity, safety and speed for handling of
soft lu昀昀 sails such as asymmetric spinnakers and gennakers. Cruisers can now store,
deploy and retrieve these sails as simply as they would a furling headsail from the
safety and convenience of the cockpit. Racers too can bene昀椀t from the characteristics
of top-down to allow superfast retrieval of code zeros by pre-winding the torsion rope
and 昀椀ring the sheet when ready. Ronstan furlers are available with top-down adapters
or in dedicated top-down models with practical accessories such as top swivel lashing
pins to provide the perfect solution.
Secure & flexible attachment options
Furlers and top swivels have retained clevis pins and top swivels have a snag-free
low pro昀椀le shackle pin head. Attachment options include quick release pins, high
resistance shackles, snap shackles, fairleads and torsion rope thimbles. The furling line
guide can be adjusted to suit either 0˚ or 90˚ attachment, as required to match the
take-o昀昀 alignment and deck layout.
Rotation stop accessory
A compact rotation stop can be added to compatible models of furlers to avoid
inadvertent unfurling of the sail. The rotation stop is simply installed on the underside
of the furler and can be disengaged when in use, or engaged when the sail is furled
or stowed.
