DescriptionThe C350SP is a manual below-deck cruising genoa furler from PROFURL. It enables an aesthetic under‑deck installation while optimising luff tension for improved sail shape. The tack fitting is height-adjustable. Maximum forestay diameter: 8 mm (rod #17). Round extrusions are clear‑anodized. Supplied with a 10-year warranty.
Technical descriptionPROFURL furling systems are engineered for reliability and long service life. Mechanisms use sealed bearings and fully waterproof components to operate under marine conditions while resisting corrosion and contamination.
High performance systems- Extrusions in high-strength 6106 aluminium alloy for a favourable weight/resistance ratio.
- Ball bearings optimised for load capacity and reduced weight.
- Wichard opening pre-feeder supplied as standard on Racing versions to speed up hoisting.
Reliable and maintenance free- Ball bearings in high-strength 100 C6 carbon steel, sealed in a grease bath to extend service life and prevent corrosion.
- Double-lip seals ensure watertightness and prevent ingress of salt, sand and dust.
- Non-deformable plastic drums resist UV and impact (anchor knocks, collisions).
Ease of usePROFURL manual furlers are designed to simplify on-board operations:
- The standard feeder allows a single crew member to hoist the sail.
- The optional Wichard opening pre-feeder guides the luff tape into the extrusion for rapid hoisting and can be reattached without removing the headsail.
Safety of use- Double cage drum arms (PROFURL exclusive) prevent the furling line from jumping off and enable re-alignment by pulling the line.
- Stainless-steel locking devices are available for closed-to-deck installations.
Reliability of materialsPROFURL carefully selects and bench-tests materials for each component to ensure durability:
- Ball bearings: 100 C6 carbon steel.
- Drums: high-impact plastic.
- Extrusions: 6106 aluminium alloy.
- Feeder and opening pre-feeder: 316L stainless steel.
ComponentsThe C350SP includes a drum, a complete set of grey round extrusions, a swivel and a turnbuckle cylinder. Supplied as standard with short link plates.
