4.6.2 Furlex without rigging screw

On Furlex-systems without an integrated rigging screw, the forestay length can be increased by fitting extra 

toggles. These can be fitted at the upper or lower end of the forestay wire.

To shorten the Furlex-system, the forestay wire and the luff extrusion must be cut. See section ”Dismantling” 

and ”Assembly”.

For available toggles and extension links, see section “Spares and accessories”.

4.7 Checklist

Go through the checklist below and make sure that all the important steps have been carried out. This will  

ensure that the Furlex system functions safely and reliably for many years and in all conditions.

•  Check that the angle between the halyard and forestay is 10–15° when the sail is hoisted.
•  Check that the clearance between the halyard swivel and the top guard is at least 50 mm (1 31/32”).
• 

Check that all the sails used, have the sufficient luff length or an extension pendant fitted so that the 10-15° 

requirement is satisfied.

•  Check that no halyards can get caught in the halyard swivel or wrapped around the luff extrusion.
• 

Check that the line guide eye does not deflect the furling line too much, as this can cause excessive friction 

and wear.

•  Check that the luff extrusion rotates one turn before the tack ring starts to rotate.
• 

Check that the line guide fitting does not come in contact the line drum flanges when furling.

•  Check that the forestay articulates freely at the upper and lower attachments.
•  Check that all split pins are secured properly.
