Drum furlers are the tried and tested classic for jib furling systems. They enable effortless winding and unwinding of sails or lines, with only one line having to be fed into the cockpit. Our jib furlers are made entirely of high-quality stainless steel, which guarantees their durability and robustness. BARTELS specialises in the production of functional, durable drum furlers. The furlers have smooth-running ball bearings that operate without any problems even under heavy loads and are particularly reliable thanks to multiple protection against water and dust. The lead-in angle of the line can be individually adjusted in 12 positions to ensure optimum functionality. A toggle below the jib furler also ensures flexibility during assembly and while sailing.

The DD deck passage is an innovative solution in boat building that can be moved independently at an angle on both sides and is completely watertight. The jib furler is mounted invisibly below deck, allowing the sail to be attached particularly close to the deck. This type of deck passage is particularly popular with classic and high-quality yachts. The DD deck passage is available in four different sizes and has proven itself in small dinghies weighing just a few hundred kilograms as well as in large yachts such as the 12mR class weighing over 20 tonnes. This versatility and reliability make the DD deck grommet a favourite choice for demanding sailors.

The DK deck grommet is a practical and simple solution for mounting the jib furler invisibly below deck. This allows the sail to be attached particularly close to the deck. For ambitious sailors, the DK is also available as an extendable version, which enables simple and effective trimming of the forestay tension and forestay length. The DK deck passage is available in three sizes and is suitable for boats with a displacement of up to approx. 5 tonnes. This versatile solution combines functionality and aesthetics and is ideal for sailors who value a tidy and optimised deck design.

Halyard swivels are used in furling and reefing systems when the halyard of the headsail is to be guided in the mast. They prevent the halyard from wrapping around the forestay when the sail is furled by decoupling the rotation of the halyard. In stay rider furling systems, a simple halyard swivel is used up to a forestay length of 8 metres, in which only the sail tack is driven by the jib furler. From a forestay length of 8 metres, the use of a dome halyard swivel is recommended. This snaps onto the sail head and transmits the rotational movement from the forestay to the halyard swivel, whereby the neck and head are furled simultaneously and in parallel - reliably and without the sail twisting or billowing.

Swivels form the upper end of the forestay and allow the forestay to rotate freely. Their size and bearings are matched to the dimensions of the forestay wire and designed to safely hold the breaking load of the forestay wire. There are simple swivels and swivels with a pulley, which are used when no halyard swivel is used on the forestay. In this case, the halyard is guided parallel to the forestay up to the jib furler and tensioned there. Our swivels are made entirely of stainless steel and have multi-sealed bearings to protect against moisture and dust. BARTELS swivels offer reliable ease of movement and safety even under maximum load.

Mast connectors are available in various customised shapes and are used between the swivel and the mast. Depending on the requirements, they can be manufactured as lugs, forks, T-terminals, toggles, cross toggles or similar designs. This versatile selection enables customised adaptation to the specific requirements of the mast system. If necessary, we offer customised solutions in which the bolt diameter, fork width or other parameters are individually adapted. This ensures that the mast connection harmonises perfectly with your system and that the safety and functionality of the furling or reefing system are guaranteed. BARTELS mast connectors offer maximum precision and reliable performance for every boat.
