For boats between 6 and 9 metres long
Max headsail area 25 square metres
Max forestay diameter 7mm
Available with Single or Double luff groove
The 609 is available with single luff groove (S series) or double luff groove (T Series). The S series is ideal for the cruiser who simply requires the furling facility for easy reefing. The T series is useful for the cruiser racer because the double groove allows for more efficient sail changes. If the drum is bypassed and halyard swivel disregarded, a second sail can be rigged before taking down the existing one.
The 609 comes with 2 furling drum attachment options. The chainplates version is for use without a turnbuckle and features 5 holes. The forestay is pinned with a bolt (supplied) to one of the upper holes on the chainplate. The lower end should be pinned to a toggle (not supplied) for connection to the deck.
The turnbuckle version has 14 holes and is approximately twice the length. This attachment is for use with a rigging screw or to increase the drum height. The extra height keeps the rigging screw available for adjustment.
Both 609 models have a drum capacity of 13m x 6mm line.
The T series has 1 base foil (2.05m) and 3 other foils (each 2.15m)
The S series has 1 base foil (1.5m) and 4 other foils (each 1.5m)
