The
PROFURL Classic reefing system with its unique appearance
is unlike any other furling system. Only the finest materials
are chosen to meet PROFURL's strict technical specifications.
The result is PROFURL's legendary reputation.
The
PROFURL Wrapstop serves several purposes:
Positive
stop that totally eliminates any chance of halyard wraping
around the forestay. Eliminates the inconvenience of fitting
bales to the mast, halyard chafe and top bearing fatigue
(due to transverse loads).
Prevents
hoisting the swivel off the top extrusion if the sail
luff is too long.
Prevents
jamming of a spinnaker or spare halyard.
Equal
torque resistance to the extrusions
The solid
one-piece connectors are designed and machined to lock in place
and transmit all torque loads equally throughout the foil column.
No torque loads are transmitted to the set screws. Small tolerances
assure the alignment of the sail luff grooves.
Non-corroding,
no maintenance and optimal power.
The
halyard swivel is permanently sealed and lubricated. This
PROFURL exclusive design feature ensures a life time of
maintenance free and smooth furling even under severe
loads in extreme conditions.

PROFURL
feeder provides easy sail hoisting
An investment
cast stainless steel feeder allows even short-handed sailors
to raise sails easily. Once the sail is hoisted the feeder can
be instantly removed (no tools need) to eliminate sail chafe
when reefed.
Is
designed to prevent jamming of furling lines.
The PROFURL
drum is manufactured from unbreakable, unscratchable, UV resistant
high impact plastic. It is open for easy furling line inspection.
Its slippery surface and conical flanges also minimises any
jamming. The strong stainless steel guard arms keep the furling
line in the drum, should the line become slack during sail reefing.
Is
non-corrodable and requires no maintenance.
Hardened
carbon steel bearings (100C6) are non-corrodable because
they are permanently housed in a grease protected by
special double lip seals which ensure water tightness
to a depth of more than 5 meters. This technology guarantees
maintenance-free operation under extreme loads. The
drum mechanism is designed in a shape which will not
chafe dock lines, mooring or anchor lines or running
rigging.
