Top Reff headsail furler
This furler has been used for my free-flying lightweight genoa (39 sq m), which it handles with ease. Operation is by the endless line on the foredeck and is straightforward. The crewman furls and unfurls the sail by using the endless line, rather than the cockpit hand pulling on the sheet. When unfurled, the sheet is adjusted. The equipment comprises the body of the furler with its endless line and the separate top swivel, which one attaches to the halyard and head of sail in the normal way. The tack attaches with a shackle to the top plate of the body of the furler. There is a little galvanic degeneration of part of the alloy component (clearly visible in the photos) but this does not interfere with normal working of the furler. The steel components are pristine. The photos show side, top and bottom views, with the top swivel lying alongside on the endless furling line. I am selling this because I needed to buy a top-down furler for my cruising chute, which also doubles for my lightweight genoa.
