Sailboat furler FT

headsailabove deck

A new range of manual foresail furlers is born. It is characterized by a low tack fitting above deck. As in the the GFM Crociera series, the operating mechanism works with free Torlon ball bearing races running on races machined from solid aluminium. This new line of drums called “Flat Tack Furler” (FT Furler) is to be matched with the classic set of Bamar BMG 30 -40 -50 R furling foils. Extreme operational ease, light weight, reduced overall dimensions and very low maintenance are the some of the key elements that identify this new model. It combines unique characteristics with a particularly compact layout very low above deck, Maximum sail luff length and center of gravity benefit from these features. Like all Bamar products, the unit is machined from certified noble metals through CNC machines. We start from “solid” blocks of material to guarantee quality, reliability, robustness and functionality. The shapes and construction of the stowing drum have been studied and tested in the most severe conditions during ocean races around the world.
