Facnor CLICK FX+4500 furler

The CLICK FX+4500 furler ensures optimal performance and high reliability for demanding sailors. Its standard kit includes a toothed sheave made of anodized aluminum, machined from solid, and protected by a composite/carbon fairing, reducing bulk. Facnor has designed the swivel in anodized, solid-machined aluminum, adding a neoprene cover with phosphorescent markings for enhanced visibility. The toothed sheave features a sturdy snap hook, while a shackle above the swivel secures the assembly.

Facnor’s patented “Start & Go” ratchet option allows furling to be paused at any time and operates in both directions. Thanks to its monobloc design, the mechanisms offer increased strength and durability. The intuitive connection system, equipped with a unique trigger, simplifies installation and prevents any loss of the axle. Facnor has designed the generously sized toothed sheave to provide high furling torque, ensuring smoother and more efficient handling. The system operates with an anti-twist cable (not included), which integrates into the luff using optional stainless steel thimbles.

The stainless steel guide and specific notch on the toothed sheave simplify the installation of the continuous furling line. For even better rotation, use Facnor special grip loops and the removable double fairleads TSL25/28. You can optimize the CLICK FX+4500 furler for asymmetric spinnakers by adding the FAST 4500 thimble.
