Don’t pull on the sheets and let the furling line run free (like you probably do with a Genoa furler). When deploying the sail, Actively control the furling line for the first third or half of the unwrapping process. When furling the sail, don’t pull the sheets tight if there’s any wind, that will Likely cause backwrapping if you let go of the furling line for even a split second As it gets windier, it takes more energy and work in a crummy cable before the cable starts to furl the sail, and it is very likely to twist back so that half the sail wraps the opposite direction as the other half. The cable will store up twists in the middle long before the top starts to turn. All the top name brands other than Harken recommend hampidjian.įor example both Colligo and Selden resell Hampidjian anti torque furling cable with their furlers, and both brands curls dependably with proper technique.Īn anti torsion rope that twists easily makes it hard to control dousing the sail without back wrap.

It’s also stronger in axial strain, so you don’t need an additional cable sewn into the luff for a code zero. The Hampidjian Dynice furling cable is almost as torsionally stiff as the Harken Reflex cable, but it must be tensioned more before furling. It’s ideal for top down furling of Asymm’s with big half widths and curved luffs, but, as I said before, requires an additional line sewn into the luff if you want to pull the luff tight, as you must when the AWA is less than 90, such as on a straight luffed code zero or screecher.
It’s better than the competitors at transmitting torque without needing to be winched very tight.
Harken’s Reflex Cable is torsionally the stiffest, but can not handle large axial loads such as those generated by a Code zero or screecher without a supplementary cable.
If your free flying furler has either one, and you control the furling properly on the way out as well as the way in, the chances of back wrapping are really small, even in high winds. The best two cables available today are from Harken and Hampidjian. You can order the basic standard version for a straight luff sail for sailing AWA 90 degrees (approx).Īuthorized distributor for Ronstan, Harken, Selden, Spinex/Facnor brands of top down and free flying, continuous line furlers

The smallest top down furler that Ronstan offers is the Series 80. On a top down furler, the torque line and top swivel turn when you pull to furling line, but the bottom of the sail doesn’t wrap until the last moment. Top down furlers have a swivel where the tack of the asymm attaches to the lower unit. It’s also great for staysails and screechers, which have hollow luffs and hollow leeches and are are shaped more liike genoas than spinnakers. The Series 60 is a great little fry flying furler for code zeros which have an almost straight luff, or with with just a slight positive curve in the luff. I would not recommend it for furling asymmetrical spinnakers that meet the rating rules doe asymmetric spinnaker (or nearly do, as some cruising asymm do)cut for angles deeper than 90 degrees apparent, because they have a moderately rounded luff, a rounded leech and a significant half girth. the Ronstan Series 60 is not a top down furler. Includes 2:1 threaded adapter for attachment to bowsprit.Just for clarity’s sake. The quick-release modular T-fitting allows single drive unit to handle multiple sails. The furled spinnaker lowers easily to the deck, ready for the next hoist. The head swivel reacts instantly, spinning the sail smoothly and completely from top to bottom for an even roll-up and super-tight wrap. Pull the furling line and the drive unit reacts reflexively to rotate the torsion cable, immediately transferring torque to the head swivel without unwanted corkscrewing delaying the response.
The compact drive unit is easier to handle than other designs. Sailors can now use their downwind sails more often-even when sailing shorthanded. Patent-pending Harken Reflex furlers provide sailors with confidence that their code zero sails will furl with speed and control. The previous generation of free-flying sail furlers often resulted in partial or uneven furling. The Harken Reflex furling system is a game changer!
