Selden Furlex Reefing Gear

The 4th generation of the SELDÉN Furlex Reefing System incorporates the existing proven features with new innovative design specifications. The twin-groove luff extrusion and the split drum facilitate converting the Furlex System for racing. Cruising yachts can utilise the extrusion for ‘wing on wing’ downwind sailing with two genoas poled out, one either side.

New features include:

• Two sets of stainless steel ball bearings within the drum plus one additional set of roller bearings for low friction and low lateral deflection.
• Smaller diameter tack ring and compact shackle to reduce furling resistance.
• 8% overall weight reduction decreases weight aloft and thus improves sailing performance.

SELDÉN Furlex sizing is calculated using both sailboat displacement and righting moment data.

Maximum loads/displacements are reduced if you use a smaller forestay than the stated maximum. The Jimmy Green Rigging Sales Team are on hand to help you determine the best solution for your yacht and your anticipated sailing.

SELDÉN Righting Moment Calculator is a very useful online tool.
