VAT) Add to basket Details Delivery Customer reviews (0) When it comes to asymmetric spinnakers, top down furling is the best solution for bringing in your sail. The concept first appeared on maxi yachts before filtering down to more modestly-sized sailing boats. Thanks to its swivel tack, the sail can be furled from the top downward to progressively stifle the sail without creating a jam. Works perfectly with our Cruising Chutes.

Why Choose the Profurl Spinex Top Down Furler?

East to use, safe, efficient, adaptable

Using asymmetric spinnakers in some conditions can be dangerous. With the Spinex, you're going to rediscover the joys of this type of sailing because it allows you to:

• Easily handle this type of sail (even short-handed)
• Remain in the safety of the cockpit
• Improve the performance of your sailing-boat by using downwind sails

Adaptable: One system for many uses

The Spinex can easily be converted into a NEX by removing the swivel tack from the drum and the end fittings, and then it can be used for sails like a gennaker or a code zero.

Advantages of Using the Spinex Top Down Furler

Sail bearing technology: efficient, reliable furling

Problem: Because asymmetric spinnaker cloth is both light and fragile, the anti-twist cable has a tendency to damage it. Also, the cable spins faster than the sail during furling which means the latter sometimes jams.

Profurl solution: Sail Bearing Technology comprises high-density spheres that spin freely around the anti-twist cable in order to protect the sail from the cable. Sail Bearing Technology allows you to:

• keep the sail away from the cable
• stop reverse furling, which causes the sail to jam
• reduce wear of the sailcloth
• make furling easier and faster because it has a greater diameter than the cable on its own

A complete system ready to use

• SPINEX comes with drum, swivel, cable, end fittings, tack swivel, etc.
• Except for the length of the cable, SPINEX is ready to fit and ready to use out of the box.

Multi-purpose and adaptable

• Remove the tack swivel and turn your SPINEX into a NEX ready to use with gennakers and code zeros
• Profurl’s SPIN KIT fits on NEX furlers.

Other advantages

• Compatible with NEX technology, such as I-Connect, Safe System, etc.
• Improved safety when worked from the cockpit or short-handed.
• Requires little storage space.
• System compatible with all types of asymmetric spinnakers.
