1.  Stretch out the wire on a flat, clean surface. On stays with swaged lower terminal, be careful not to 

damage the terminal thread. The thread can be protected with tape or similar.

2.  Start by feeding the top luff extrusion and the top distance tube onto the forestay wire. 

The distance tubes are welded shut but are easily opened by hand. Note the correct 

orientation of the distance tube - hinge to be sideways.

3.  Add a short joining sleeve (204TD:200mm/304TD:250mm) and use it to push the distance tube up into the top 

luff extrusion. The distance tube should be pushed in approximately half the length of a joining sleeve.

4.  On Sta-lok terminated systems, the halyard swivel and the top guard can be fitted at this point, see  

below. On stud terminated systems, the top guard must be fitted after the sail feeder has been mounted.

5.  Add another luff extrusion and another distance tube. Make sure the distance tube is oriented correctly. 

Also add another short joining sleeve.

6.  Fit a short connecting plate into the second luff extrusion as shown. Push the first joining sleeve down 

into the second luff extrusion to lock the connector.

7.  Connect the two luff extrusions.

8.  Push the first joining sleeve back up into the first luff extrusion to lock the join. Use the second joining 

sleeve to push on the second distance tube. The second distance tube should be pushed in approximately 

half the length of a joining sleeve. This will ensure correct location of the first joining sleeve.  

4 Assembly

4.1 Assembly of the luff section

Luff assembly should be carried out on a clean, flat surface. Make sure there is enough space for the entire 

forestay length to be stretched out.

Note that the luff extrusions are fitted onto the forestay, whereas on previous models the wire was fitted as a  

last step. Also note that the luff is assembled from top down as opposed to older Furlex systems. (Systems 

mounted on rod stay are assembled the opposite way. Please refere to separate instruction 597-180-E). 

Prior to the assembly of the luff extrusion, the top extrusion and the top distance tube shall be cut according  

to table 3.
