Facnor mainsail furler

Does anyone have experience with a Facnor mainsail furler system and are you happy with it?

Yes a lot of it, and very happy with it. Good furler, probably one of the best in the market.

Check their website.

The FT-10 Flying Tigers are using the Facnor units. Not many complaints on it thus far as they kick butt on most everything in their classes.

Sorry I had to go dig this post up, I posted it today elswhere.



Mine is a problem free no hassle furler, that works just fine.

This is what they use in the Volvo also. Its called a code zero. Very good, one single line in and out. Only jams if you insert an elephant there.








The furler is called a Code Zero, and for my boat it was custom built. Here is the manufacturer FACNOR. Once opened clock in Custom and then code zero.

Sorry..you are right....my mistake, that's the head sail furler sorry...no excuse.

anyway, I don't know of Facnor MAIN sail furler, nothing about it, in fact I know nothing about main sail furlers...I mean I know something...I know I don't want them even for free...
