What kind of fitting for my Profurl furling system?

Standard fitting with short link plates - Type of locking devices: standard and threaded pin for a stay eye fitting

Raise the drum mechanism in order to clear the deck in case of obstacles (bow roller etc.).
Fitting with adjustment plates is also possible.

Fitting with long link plates - Type of locking devices: standard

The drum can be lifted to avoid interference with the anchor and to reduce the sail chafe of the lifelines.
The forestay length is still adjustable.

Fitting close to the deck - Type of locking devices: stainless steel and smooth pin

Increase the luff length.

Fitting with a turnbuckle cylinder - The rigging screw goes into the turnbuckle cylinder

The furler can be fitted lower to the deck.
It is also possible to use a combination of a turnbuckle cylinder and long link plates.
