Furling systems for stay rider sails / wire forestay

Bartels furling systems for stay rider sails enable sails with stay riders, buttons or zip fasteners to be furled directly on the forestay wire - without an additional profile. These lightweight, unobtrusive systems are ideal for classic and high-quality yachts, as existing sails can continue to be used. A jib furler at the bottom and a swivel at the top make the forestay swivelling. The halyard can be guided either directly on the forestay or via a halyard swivel in the mast. The systems can be used with endless line or drum furlers and can be mounted on deck or elegantly below deck. Variants for forestay diameters of 3-12 mm are available.

Furling and reefing systems for sails with a leech tape / moulded forestay

Bartels furling and reefing systems with profile forestay allow the genoa and jib to be furled and reefed and offer optimum adaptation to changing wind conditions. The aluminium profile with keder groove guides the sail safely around the forestay wire. There is a choice of endless line jib furlers, ideal for reefing thanks to large disc diameters and easy handling, and drum jib furlers with light line guidance. The systems can be mounted flexibly on deck or elegantly below deck, with a watertight deck passage preserving the look of classic yachts. Bartels thus offers a high-quality solution for maximum functionality and sailing comfort.
