CTFLX 50mm CTFLX 75mm CTFLX 95mm Performance headsails furled easily C-Tech FlexiFurl horizontal furling battens are reliable every time. Whether your boat is in racing or cruising mode, C-Tech FlexiFurl horizontal battens offer the perfect means of achieving a rapid and efficient headsail furl. Their performance has been proven with race results and extensive feedback over three years. Designed and manufactured in-house at C-Tech, the FlexiFurl’s curved profile strips compress flat when furling then spring back to their designed flying shape. In the unlikely event of a C-Tech FlexiFurl batten breaking, it will not cause damage to the sail, thanks to its design. The battens are supplied in standard lengths to ensure they are easy to fit (see specs on page 19). C-Tech FlexiFurl are designed for: Key Features • Rolls to a small diameter • Prepreg glass and carbon shells inside a webbing cover • Lightweight • Used with furling headsails • Composite battens cannot snap and damage the sail • Tough webbing outer cover • Proven and tested • Stocked standard sizes and stiffness options available Soft: Red Medium: Yellow Stiff: Blue • Custom taper options available C-TECH CATALOGU

The back third of the batten is the same stiffness as is specified for the parallel batten code; however, the overall stiffness of the batten is reduced by approximately 60%. We recommend accounting for this by specifying a code stiffer than that required before the taper is applied. Approximate draft...
