The Aero Furling Spar, with the furling system incorporated within the spar, is recommended for performance sailing |
Spar enables genoa to be furled
without compromising the sail’s
performance
Spar extremely lightweight – weighs
less than 0.5kg
Spar has diameter of 8mm – only
marginally increasing the luff
entry shape of the 3mm diameter
luff wire
Spar raises foot of genoa only
10 to 15mm higher than a standard
racing genoa
Furling the genoa before the start of
a race provides the helm with a
clear vision for manoeuvring into
an optimum position in the final
countdown to the start gun
Furling the genoa on a run provides
the crew with a clear vision for
setting the spinnaker
Furling the genoa for launching
prevents the wear and tear on the
sail caused by the sail flogging in
stronger wind conditions
Furling the genoa when coming in
to land gives the helm better vision
and more control
Solid eye ends of the spar fitted to
bow and genoa halyard as any
standard racing genoa
