halyard guided on forestay
Classic furling system for sails that are not changed frequently
The furling system with tackle impresses with its simple design and easy handling. The wire halyard is guided over a pulley in the swivel and tensioned above the furler by means of a tackle. The system is designed for fully furling sails, but is not suitable for reefing, as the wire forestay is unsuitable as a winding core and could damage the sail.
The halyard is operated parallel to the forestay from the foredeck. When changing sails, a safety line is required to prevent the halyard from running out. Sails with a shorter luff can be lengthened using a wire leader in order to optimise the adjustment path of the jib, for example in the case of a storm jib. This furling system is ideal for headsails that are rarely changed, such as jibs or cutter stays.
Advantages:
- Simple and cost-effective solution
- Easy to install and operate
- Continued use of sails with staysails
- Can be retrofitted to a furling jib system (Cx-1xx-x systems)

Endless lines jib furler
Endless line jib furlers are ideal for easy furling and reefing of sails such as large genoas, small jibs or light wind sails such as Code0 and gennakers. BARTELS specialises in the manufacture of robust, durable and functional endless line jib furlers. These furlers are made entirely of stainless steel and feature smooth-running ball bearings that function smoothly even under heavy loads. The ball bearings are multiply protected against water and dust. The endless line can be removed in a few simple steps and can be used in 8 mm or 10 mm diameter. The non-slip rope pulley enables use in both rolling directions and the lead-in angle can be individually adjusted in 12 positions. A toggle ensures flexibility during assembly and sailing.
Drum jib furler
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.
Swivel with pulley
Stay swivels with sheaves are the counterpart to jib furlers. The forestay to which the sail is attached rotates in stay furling systems. Heavy-duty, smooth-running ball bearings are integrated into jib furlers and stay swivels. The static and dynamic forestay load is transmitted from the jib furler via the ball bearings of the jib furler, along the forestay wire and via the bearings of the stay swivel to the mast connection. The ball bearings are orientated to the breaking load of the forestay wire and are available in sizes from 3 to 12 mm. Thanks to the integrated deflection of the halyard directly below the swivel, the sail and halyard can be guided directly on the forestay wire - without additional halyard swivels. The sail head is furled parallel to the forestay to prevent unintentional unfurling. Stay swivels with pulley are used exclusively in the B1 system.
