1. BEFORE HOISTING
2. HOISTING PRECAUTIONS
- Always anticipate the sail handling: start the handling conditions permitting and rigorously respect the sail use
range specified by the sailmaker.
- Caution : the sail furls out very fast. Gloves recommended.
- Furl the sail out with the sheet secured round the winch. In light wind pull the furling line to unfurl.
3. BEFORE FURLING
- Tighten the anti-twist rope sufficiently enough;
- Reduce the pressure in the Gennaker by slightly sailing further downwind;
4. FURLING
- Check that the anti-twist rope is tight.
- Start furling by pulling the furling line and progressively releasing the sheet.

Always check if anything prevents the head of the sail from free furling.

FACNOR FX+/ FXT INSTRUCTIONS
FURLING WITH THE RATCHET SYSTE (see vidéo)
- Furling OUT with the ratchet option on.
From a locked position, release the ratchet by operating the drum by rotating
(furling in) half a turn. Once released the sail will unfurl easily.
- Furling IN with the ratchet option on.
Start furling in. If you stop at any time and let go of the furling line, the flying sail will be
automatically locked thanks to the ratchet device.
- Once ready to resume, simply start furling again. The ratchet in the continuous line
drum will be automatically activated from the first rotation.
5. BEFORE FURLING
-
NEVER SAIL with the Gennaker or Code Zero partially furled.
- Once furled, never rely on the lock to fully secure your sail.
