The size and weight of each component (spool, swivel, and terminals) have been optimised to:
- Improve sailing performance
- Ensure easier handling of the systems
NEX Safety:
- NEX, THE NEW GENERATION FURLER
Already standard on previous models, The SAFE SYSTEM enables you to stop the running of the furling line during deployment of sail and thus:- prevent accidents or damage caused by a free running line.
- manoeuvre more quickly and easily
- prevent excessive wear of the line
NEX Easy to use:
- I-CONNECT: The Quick Sail Attachment Device
available on NEX spools and swivels, enables you to quickly attach or remove the sails because of:
- A quick, ergonomic system (for singled handed operation)
- A fully integrated captive pin
- No risk of fouling with adjacent lines
- QUICK FIT: Line Fitting
Enables you to fit or unfit the continuous line rapidly.
- rapid fitting
- long splicing possible
- furling line may be left in position on deck
- furlers can be changed without changing the line
- TUNE & LOCK: Adjustment and installation
The system is fitted and adjusted with a single screw:
- adapts to the line outlet and deck layout
- reduction of excessive line friction
- quick installation with only one pre-fitted screw
- FURLASSIST:INTUITIVE AND SAFE ASSISTANCE FOR FURLING (optional)
A major innovation of this new Nex range, the FURLASSIST ratchet function is a real plus for your manoeuvres allowing:- Better control of furling avoiding accidental unfurling of the sail
- Reliable furling due to the permanent engagement of the pawl
- Safety: it only unlocks when hauling in the line fast
- Simplicity: operates in both directions and without additional line
- Easy installation and removal (2 screws)
