8- SPECIFIC INSTALLATIONS 

Installation without deflector wheel or when using a sail with shorter luff: 

 

 

ƒ

 

Without deflector wheel: 

   

If the halyard swivel is not used, fix a block on the mast 

(fig.  A’);  so  that  the  halyard  runs  off  at  15°  to  the 
forestay. Also insure that the top cap is positioned 

between 40mm and 139mm from the bottom end of the 
forestay terminal.  

 

 

ƒ

 

Sail with shorter luff 

(i.e. Storm Sails and Working Jibs)

The halyard swivel virtually eliminates halyard wrap ; 
however, when using a shorter sail, rig a short strop (fig. 

B’) between the head of your sail to allow the top of the 

halyard swivel to be positioned around 50mm from the 
top section cap, when your sail is fully hoisted.  

 
9- CHANGING FURLING SYSTEM INTO HEADFOIL 
     (LX/RX REMOVABLE DRUMS)  

 

Changing your LX/RX furling system into headfoil allows lowering the tack point and therefore 
gaining length in the luff. You can then use a sail with a longer luff than your cruising Genoa. 

This easy operation can be sequenced in 3 steps :  

 

 
 
 
 
 

 
 

 
 

 

9.1 9.2 

9.3 

 

 
9.1- Dismantling the furling line guides :

  

Remove the guides (fig. D’) after removing the two screws (fig. C’).  

 

9.2- Removing half plates :  

Remove the two screws (fig. E’) that go through the half plates. Slightly loosen the two other 

screws in order to release the four half plates (fig. F’).  

 

9.3- Installing the half protection rings :  

Slip the two half protection rings (fig. G’), then tighten the four screws back (fig. E’). 

 

Follow the steps the other way round to come back to your original furling systems.
