JIB REEFING,"S" SERIES

- "S" SERIES

Enjoy family cruising or fishing with a perfectly peaceful mind : a "S" headsail reefing gear is a totally reliable crewmember.
All moulded components are manufactured in our Lorient (France) workshops, using high-pressure injection techniques. This engineering process gives the composite material properties which are comparable to certain metals, while remaining totally impervious to corrosion, therefore virtually maintenance-free.
Our "S" series of headsail gears are extremely easy to install and take down. It requires no unstepping of the mast, and no modification of the forestay, thanks to a unique (patented) design which allows quick and easy installation directly on the tensioned forestay.
The inner PVC liner is clipped onto the forestay and the aluminium spar slides easily over the PVC liner.
The risk of tearing sails at junctions is therefore much reduced.
The unique design allows swift and easy installation directly on the tensioned forestay.
Combined with the mounting of PVC and alloy spars alternatively, this system guarantees maximum performance and the reliability on most types of yachts, without altering the boat's original characteristics.

• 406 S : for boats from 4 to 6 m (14 to 20 ft).
The 406 S features all the advantages of a large headsail reefing sytem : Delrin® twin ball bearing races in both drum and halyard swivel. All components are manufactured from polyarylamide.

• 608 S : for boats from 6 to 8 m (20 to 26 ft).
The 608 S is fitted with twin ball bearing races - alternating Delrin (r) and stainless steel- and stemhead brackets with adjustable width. Besides their stylish design, the drum cheeks swivel through 360° : by providing the best angle to the line, the drum cheeks prevent snagging and chafing.

• 810 S : for boats from 8 to 10 m (26 to 33 ft).
Like the 608 S, the 810 S features drum cheeks that swivel through 360°, thus preventing snagging and chafing. Chainplates are fully adjustable, in order to adapt to either chainplate or turnbuckle mounting. The new generation is equipped with tough Torlo ® balls, alternated with Delrin® balls, ensuring even smoother drum rotation.

Which jib reefing system for your boat ?

JIB REEFING, "T" SERIES

- "T" SERIES

"T", for Twin groove

For race enthusiasts, and also for sailors who find twin head sails more fun !
Using the same materials as the S Series, the T Series ("T", for Twin groove) is equipped in series with a double groove, which allows using the jib reefing as a hollow twin-groove forestay when racing. The twin groove also makes it possible to set twin head sails rather than hoisting the spinnaker.
The new quick-coupling sleeves are screwed and make for a swift and easy installation directly on the tensioned forestay, requiring no unstepping of the mast and no modification of the forestay.
