MAXI-YACHTS & MAXI-COURSECustomKnow-how & Tailor made solutionsPhoto : M49 © Azzura MarineThe custom projects for ocean cruising or racing maxi-yachts requirehigh tech means: computerised design, technical knowledge in metallurgyand composite materials, and a data-base constantly updated.Our team offers a good response, an efficient shipping managementas well as an innovative spirit and capacity. Facnor has been successfullyplaced at the top rank of custom equipment suppliers.MAXI-YACHTS EXCELLENCEMeeting a technical capacity in design andproduction as well as the specific knowledgeof the requirements of ocean racingequipment, Facnor is now considered as "the mostexcellent" in furling systems. Facnor Team has achieveda 30-year experience in designing and manufacturingnew furling equipments thanks to our investment inresearch (patents) and the cooperative projects withmany ocean skippers. This leads Facnor to the top rangeespecially in custom gears (ocean and maxi yachts).Dark Shadow (Wally 100’) -Adolfo OriaFacnor and the Maxi-yachts :“Haute couture” & tailor made productsAs supplier for Ocean racing boats (Open 60, maxiocean trimarans), we have also offered our knowledgeto maxi-yachts. The great loads for ocean racing boats(“Formule 1 of the seas”) and maxi-yachts both requirevery high quality equipment. Those gears of “Haute couture”are designed and produced by Fanor Team withcare and the necessary resources.By this way, Facnor has succeeded in supplying the mostprestigious classic maxi-yachts.MAXI-COURSE EXCELLENCEFacnor is one of the best-known manufacturers of furlingsystems for ocean racing mono - and multihulls.The repeated successful tests carried out at sea bywinning ocean racers as well as Facnor Team's inclinationfor challenges and innovation pushed our companyto a leading position.Ocean races obviously require a high level ofskills in boat equipment manufacturing. Like inFormula One the greatest assets of a team is thecapacity of finding ahead the most adequate technologicalsolutions. Every parameter of such complex projectsneeds to be calculated with precision and testedbefore the race. For this reason, project managers ofocean racing boats work with the equipment suppliersfar ahead before the race starts. This is the race beforethe Race... Our Teams like meeting such challengeskeeping in mind that our products have "to cross theline" (generally in both ways).We worked on various boat equipment projects and allwere highly requiring: 70’ ABNAMRO (winner of the VolvoRace), many Open 60’, somemaxi multihulls (Géant,Groupama), Mari-Cha (amongthe 140’ one) and the MultiOne Design 70 (MOD 70).Motivated by the same desire tosucceed in our projects, we areproud of our long term cooperationwith the most famousboat racing Teams. For instance,we have collaborated withMichel Desjoyeaux on all his mono- and multihull units.We had already prooved our capacity of innovating,the constant high quality of our products and our reactivesolutions to their problems. Like the skippers and theproject managers we are very demanding and give ourbest to succeed...Photo : © J. Nash, TEAM ABN AMRO8 /FACNOR : PARTNER OF GLOBAL OCEAN RACE■Facnor supports this Class 40 racing project originally initiated by Josh Hall. Throughout GLOBALOCEAN RACE 2011-12 the participating boats will sail in the most difficult seas of the planet.Starting in Mallorca (Spain), the race will stop in Cape Town (South Africa), Wellington (NewZealand), Punta del Este (Uruguay) and Charleston (USA) before coming back to Mallorca, i.e. 30.000 miles totally.www.facnor.com

CustomKnow-how & Tailor made solutionsCUSTOM PARTSCARBON FURLING SYSTEMSIn comparison with existing products fitted with foil sections, the carbon furling system gives asubstantial reduction in weight (approx 50%). The “water drop" shaped sections offers betteraerodynamismics. The section components are glued together giving superior resistance totorque than a screwed assembly.Two models : SC40 & SC50 - section length: 4 meters.CUSTOM STRUCTURAL SYSTEMSUnlike continuous line Code zero & Gennaker furlers, these"structural systems" are fitted permanently on the sailingboat. It is an "in and out" furling system to handle Genoa,Solent, Staysail, or even ORC. The structural system componentsare: a swivel fixed on the mast, a continuous line drum fixed on thechain plate, and an anti-twist cable linking both mechanisms. Thiscable transfers efficiently the rotation from the drum to the swiveland is captive from the sail tape. The sail is latched at the tack andhalyard points. The advantage of the system is the total reduction ofweight. It is lighter to fit a textile forestay than a structural furler with carbon sections.

CUSTOM HALYARD LOCKSCustomKnow-how & Tailor made solutionsHALYARD LOCKSUse : This system is mainly dedicated to flying forestays that once down reduce the headweights and the heel. Used also for mainsail, this locking device is widely fitted now onmaxi yachts.Functioning : When the sail is up, by pulling the halyard sharply, it locks or unlocks thehook.1Locking : pullsharply thehalyard (sail up).2Unlocking : pull sharplyagain the halyardOnce the lock isfastened, thehalyard is freefrom any loadand becomes thecontrol rope forunlocking the lock.Without the lock : thehalyard under loadcompresses additionallythe mast.With the lock, thehalyard does notadd anycompressiononto the mast.Photo : Gilles Martin-Raget / Groupe BelThe advantages : The high rig and halyard loads used by racing boats is transmittedinto the rig, giving high mast compression loads. By locking the halyard directlyonto the front head of the mast, the loads onto the mast are reduced by half.Moreover, the removable Solent gives a possible gain in weight. Furthermore, with thehalyard lock the sheaves at the head and the blocks at the step of the mast supportconsequently less load.External/Internal fitting to the mast : The halyard lock canbe equally fitted inside the mast or outside on an existing head attachment (for instanceattachment for a removable baby stay).- Internally fitted lock : in this case, the external body of the lock is directly laminated (compositemast) or riveted/bolted onto the front head of the mast. The luff reaches an optimumlength. The halyard runs down directly inside the mast. A large sheave can be fitted for smotheroperation.- Externally fitted lock : It can be fixed onto one head attachment with an articulated device(toggle, latching, Unibal ball or others). In this case, a small diameter sheave is integrated inthe hooking system. The halyard can then run down inside or outside the mast.Photo : AwentechMast fitted-in lockSPECIAL FITTINGS10 /Conception and production capacity combined withquick responsiveness : thanks to a Design team and productionmeans of ESIM, a CNC machining company andalso Losange Group member.

STRUCTURAL STAYFURLERS14-100 TFurling power & performanceFacnor has adapted the Open 60’ Staysail furlers to otherranges of fast racing boats. These structural furlers supportmast loads and can entirely furl in and out headsails (such asSolent, Staysail, Genoa). This system particularly dedicated toserials of racing boats, like Class 40’ already widely equipped,is also suitable for ocean cruising yachts.IN/OUT FURLING SYSTEMSUnlike the headsail furling and reefing system, but like the Gennaker furler, the structural wire furlerdoes not allow to reef the sail. This “in/out” system offers an optimum cut of the sail. However, unlikea Gennaker furler, it is structural: it holds the mast at the front. The forestay, traditionally in highquality textile fibres, turns. The furling principle is simple: by pulling the continuous line, the drum generatesthe rotation to the thimble of the textile forestay and the attached tack of the sail. Easy and efficient.This is the reason why this furling gear has been chosen by Class 40’ and 60’ skippers.MAXIMUM LUFF & LIGHTNESSThe structural wire furler offers the same advantages as thecontinuous line drum: a constant furling power, a maximum luffthanks to the low profile drum that keeps the jib tack low. Extrafeature: the weight saved (up to 2 times lighter than a conventionalfurling system).

Able to support high loads, the “SDG STD” model helpsto furl easily a Gennaker or a flying sail. The mechanism of the drum and the swivel are made of aluminium andfitted with steel bearings protected by waterproof joints (maintenance free). An alternative solution for users whoprefer a discontinuous furling line.* The S.W.L. is the maximum safe working load over which distortions of the furler can appear.

Facnor thimbles are CNC machined from asolid block of aluminum so they resist crushing under high loads.Consult with your sailmaker to find the best luff rope configuration foryour boat. However, you can be sure that Facnor makes thimbles thatwill suit your needs :standard thimbles : FX 2500 to FX 20000- Stainless steel (rep.1) for FX2500/4500 models;- aluminium for FX7000/12000/20000 models;NS latching thimbles (rep.2).Blocks and sheaves :Often high halyard loads are required to properly sail with Code Zerosso Facnor offer many variations of 2 to 1 fittings. Compact sheaves integratedinto the halyard swivel reduce weight aloft and increase lufflength while a block installed on the bottom of the drum can reduce theamount of mast compression. Many options are available to accommodateany specific need.Thimblepict.1Customthimblepict.22-to-1swivelFX 2500FX 4500FX 7 000FX 12 000FX 20 000Quick - release - pin fastenings :FX furlers can be fitted with different quick fasteningdevice : loops, snapshackles, shackles, ...Furling lineFX 900FX 1500FX 2 500FX 4 500FX 7 000FX 12 000FX 20 00038 /COVERS FOR CONTINUOUS LINE DRUM AND SWIVELSCover for continuous line drum(photo : Asym-FX)www.facnor.comContinuous line drum covers : The new Facnor FX and Asym FX cover is idealfor protecting your continuous line furlers from deck impacts.

ASYMMETRIC SPINNAKER FURLERSAsym-FXSimple handlingsThe Asym-Fx allows to furl in the asymmetric Spinnakers from the cockpitby pulling the bottom furling line. The anti-twist rope rotates up to the topend. The central line connecting the sail luff and the torque rope by themiddle starts furling in. Unlike the Gennaker (Code Zero), the torque ropeis not captive from the luff tape. The drum continuous furling line preventsfrom overriding and can be left fitted on deck or easily removed.Therefore, the furled sail is quickly ready to be used.Regular furling (in/out) thanks to a simple systemStart furlingthe AsymmetricSpinnakerby pullingthe furlinglineFurling first thecentre of the luff(thanks to a centralfurling rope)Then the sail is furledand can be easilyloweredand removedSAILOR TIPErick LedouxCherbourg ChantierChantereyne dealer“As often, a careful preparationof the sailboateases the navigation at sea :you can adjust a strip*round the sail at the sheetposition, in order to hoist safely theasymmetric Spinnaker ”.* Your sailmaker can advise youREMOVABLE FURLING LINE(as for the FX, see page 31)thanks to the clever design of the stainless steelguide & the rubber ringPOINTATTACHMENTfixed on the tackor the head of the sailFURLING LINE(REMOVABLE)40 /www.facnor.com
