(Details shown apply to the default selection)
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.

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.
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:
