Seldén now takes its jib furling system a step further with the through-deck Furlex TD.
The Furlex TD is the latest version of Seldén’s famous Furlex. The TD stands for Through Deck. The system has been designed to provide a virtually watertight, through-deck installation. The small amount of water that may seep through is easily dealt with by normal drainage.
A universal joint above the deck gives full freedom of movement to the forestay. The line drum is located below the deck. Like all other Furlex systems, the TD comes with a so-called free-tack function for the tack hook and a load distributor in the halyard swivel.
The system must be installed through a stable foredeck. The maximum permitted deck thickness is 10 mm.
The Furlex 200TD - 400TD are available for forestay diameters ø6 - 14 mm.

Unit 00AL is the perfect jib reefing and furling system for small cruising boats under 26 ft (8 m). It combines most of the features of larger Harken® furling systems in a simpler unit. Like other Harken® systems, the main components of the 00AL are 6061-T6 Hardkote-anodized aluminum with Teflon® impregnation. Features include a free-spinning, omnidirectional bearing system with multiple ball bearing races, a double grooved foil for racing sail changes, and a lightweight halyard swivel to minimize windage and weight aloft. The furler’s large inside spool provides plenty of mechanical advantage for smooth, easy reefing and furling.
There are enough aluminum foil sections to build a headstay with a pin-to-pin measurement to 31 ft 6 in (9.60 m). Harken® offers an additional foil and connector to extend headstay length to 35 ft (10.7 m).
Note: You must cut your headstay to install 00AL furling. You must also
purchase a Harken® clevis pin to match your chainplate.

Harken carbon furlers are the ultimate lightweight reefing and furling solution. Featuring all-carbon foils and carbon components in the drum and torque tube, these units can save you from 25 to 200 pounds (11-90 kg). The lower weight fore and aloft not only reduces pitching and heeling, but also reduces the amount of lead needed in the keel.
Carbon furlers have a smooth, elegant finish and are UV resistant. The fiber, the same used in most carbon masts (T300 or equivalent), is laid in the direction of the load to optimize strength and weight. High-strength Spectra® line on the tack, head, and halyard swivels replaces heavy metal attachments. The independent swivels improve sail shape by letting the sail center furl before the head.
Foils are made of filament-wound carbon to maximize torsional strength. For faster sail changes, contact Harken to order foils with double sail grooves instead of the standard single groove. Built-in turnbuckles make installation and mast tuning easy. Foil kits include an extra foil and connector. Installation by an
authorized professional required.

High-Strength Materials, Sculpted Design
The torque tube, motor, and gear housing are deep-saturation Hardkote-anodized, UV-stabilized aluminum. The sculpted gear box and streamlined motor housing is sealed with high-quality lip seals. The motor mounts vertically into pulpits, clearing anchor tackle and providing low windage.
High-Torque, Low-Power Motor
The motor is a permanent magnet design and features high torque and low power consumption. Inside, the hardened steel gears are permanently lubricated. The reversible drive uses a high-reduction worm gear set to prevent reefed sails from unfurling under load.
Easy to Install or Upgrade
C-shaped connectors slip over the headstay without feeding wire through the connector. The lower unit fits over the existing turnbuckle allowing easy length adjustment. Easy upgrade from a Cruising Unit 2 and MKIV Unit 3 manual unit.

Originally built for Volvo 60s, Code Zero furlers are used with free-flying asymmetrical headsails and staysails. Suitable for boats up to 125 ft (38 m), they tame Code Zero sails, screechers, Gennakers® and staysails.
The eight-faceted sheave-drive grips line aggressively to furl huge sails with minimal line. The large diameter makes furling smooth and easy. The 3126, 3127, 3128 and 3115 Code Zero’s spring-loaded arms hold line captive in the sheave. Arms open to remove the line for quick unfurling, or to strike the furler. A built-in stripper safely guides line out of the furler. The lower unit incorporates a quick sail disconnect by pushing a spring-loaded button. Compact hardened steel roller thrust bearings handle extremely high luff loads. Furler heights are kept to a minimum to maximize luff length.

MKIII hydraulic furling allows you to reef, furl, or set sails with the touch of a button. The MKIII hydraulic furler is made of Hardkote-anodized aluminum and mirror-polished investment-cast stainless steel. The streamlined housing fits easily within existing pulpits. Double swivels at the tack and head help shape sails when reefing.
The furler’s lower toggle fixes at 90-degree intervals to accept any chainplate direction. The reversible hydraulic drive uses a high-reduction, double-enveloping worm gear to prevent reefed sails from unfurling under load.
Hydraulic MKIII furlers are suitable for cruising boats from 50 to 120 feet (15-36.6 m) with headstays of up to 1-inch wire (25 mm) or -115 rod (22.2 mm).

Harken® Small Boat furling systems allow the trailerable cruising or dinghy sailor to set and furl the jib from the cockpit. The drums and halyard swivels of these furling systems feature multiple stacked races of Delrin® or Torlon® bearings to ensure smooth rotation under load. All Small Boat furling systems require a jib with a luff wire properly seized to the sail. Small boat units are not suitable for reefing.

Underdeck Furler
A ball bearing underdeck furler minimizes windage and provides a clean, uncluttered bow for easier mooring and anchoring. It also allows the tack of the sail to be at deck level for better sail shape and more forward power. Its single through-deck spherical joint provides a low-profile, nearly watertight system that aligns the spool to the headstay. Like all small boat furlers, the underdeck furler is not suitable for reefing and it requires a jib with an embedded luff wire.
Swivels must be purchased separately.

Its shape has been designed in order to occupy as little room as possible vertically.
Light-weight: it is made of aluminium machined with CNC machines. It is wear resistant, thanks to hardcote anodising and a Teflon bath.
Fast: to be used on boats needing a performing foresail. Its high speed was calculated in order to simplify and speed up tacking.
Application: though originally designed to be fitted on a bowsprit, it may easily be installed below deck as well.
Manual emergency: not needed, as the sail is not hoisted on furling foils but armed on parallel mobile stays. Nevertheless, for those who want it, it is possible to add the application on demand.
Water resistant: modern technology gives us the possibility of manufacturing mechanisms and use electric motors that do not fear water.

These systems offer and grant great performance and long life, because they are designed and manufactured with the best materials and CNC machines.
These products need scarce maintenance and are supplied with vanguard transmission systems. The use of high quality industrial parts, such as bearings, gears, and worm screws, makes the automatic stop reduction
gear smooth and silent.
The high torque efficiency developed by the GFI is granted by the use of “DANFOSS” orbital hydraulic motors. The worm screw reduction gear is an irreversible mechanism that absorbs the load created by the sail area without transmitting it to the hydraulic motor.
The manual emergency clutch represents an extra safety element for the user: it is operated with a winch handle. During the manual operation, the hydraulic motor must not be started.
A main characteristic of BAMAR GFI hydraulic systems is the possibility of being combined with an integrated hydraulic cylinder that allows the tension of the stay. Thus, each model may be supplied in the “standard” version or “with hydraulic stay adjuster”.

Continuous line furling system: from ocean race to cruising:
In the past the continuous line furling systems used to be fitted on Gennaker furlers or Headsail structural furlers. Compared to a conventional drum, the advantages of a continuous line system are numerous: a bigger luff available, greater furling power due to a larger diameter drum, no risk of overriding. A technology directly developed in racing Gennaker furlers or "structural system" (structural furler, see page 10) fitted on Open 60's. Furthermore, this model can be fitted on existing Facnor reefing system (R range).
