Product catalog summary
Introduction
Facnor introduces new innovations in marine equipment, focusing on lightweight and efficient solutions for sailing enthusiasts. This document outlines the latest updates and products available as of November 2020.
LB Snatch Blocks
The LB 2-to-1 snatch blocks have been redesigned with polymer bearings, replacing the previous needle bearings. This new version is made from aluminum, offering a lighter and more attractive solution for halyard 2-to-1 configurations.
FX+ Guide
The new FX+ guide enhances the security of the furling loop around the drum. It replaces the previous closed guide system with a more user-friendly design, maintaining ease of fitting for the spliced furling line.
Gaff Lock for Squared Mainsail
The gaff lock simplifies the handling of full batten squared mainsails. It can be adapted to existing Facslide headboard cars, allowing for easy hoisting and lowering of the mainsail. Two models, 2T5 and 4T, are available to match Facslide F30 and F40.
Composite Bearing Snatch Blocks
These snatch blocks feature CNC machined cheeks and sheaves, offering a lightweight and corrosion-resistant design. They are available in four models with varying safe working loads (SWL) from 2 to 7 tons.
Deck Fairleads
The new DL D18 deck fairleads improve deck rope organization with corrosion-resistant materials and a standard hole-to-hole axis for retrofitting. They accommodate a wide range of ropes with an inner diameter of 18mm.
InDeck Furlers
Facnor expands its underdeck furling solutions with manual and electric models. These systems are integrated into the deck, offering a seamless solution for furling Gennakers and Code Sails, particularly on catamarans.
IBXE Integrated Furler
This system provides easy handling of flying sails with a compact design that fits into a bowsprit or boat forefront. It is available in electric or hydraulic versions and is particularly suited for catamarans over 45 feet.

The former guide was “closed” by lashing a piece of rope between two holes. The spliced furling line remains easy to fit obviously as previously. A nicely designed evolution for the FX+ furlers that has been encountering a great success through those past years and have been proving their reliability. > Availability for Fx+1500/Fx+2500/Fx+4500 in February Gaff lock for squared mainsail Full batten mainsail 2-to-1 halyard locking / unlocking The gaff lock can be adapted on existing Facslide headboard car and simplifies the full batten squared mainsail head fitting and lowering along the boom. The attaching shackle gets out of the hook and releases the halyard enabling an easy folding of the mainsail. The gaff lock fitted-in sheave allows to fit the halyard in 2-to-1 configuration. The “hooking” shape of the gaff lock automatically locks the halyard when the squared mainsail is up. The full batten squared mainsail becomes efficiently hoisted and lowered.
