Furling system for wire headstay (halyard parallel headstay) and sails with hanks Seascape Yachts Installation on deck / turning headstay B1-111 | B1-112 Mast connectors: Lappet/ Fork/ T-Terminal/ Toggle Scope of application The jib furling system with tackle is characterized by its simple design. The cable or dyneema halyard is running through a block in the lower (turning) part of the forestay-swivel and is tightened above the jib furler with a tackle. These systems don´t need a halyard swivel, which is only required when the halyard has to be decoupled from the turning headstay. Headstay swivel...

Reefing system with foil headstay for sails with luff tape LA Yachts / LA28 Installation on deck / turning headstay D1-111 | D1-112 Mast connectors: Lappet/ Fork/ T-Terminal/ Toggle Scope of application Jib reefing systems make it possible to reduce the sail area continuously as long as the sail is suitable for that by weight of the cloth and its construction. Existing sails with jib hanks can be made reefable by sewing on a luff tape. Larger sails with a deep cut (profile) should be made reefable by doubling up near the luff. Angle between headstay and halyard should be approx. 10° ! Sail Feeder...
