Stagreiter sail furling system

The furling jib systems with halyard swivels for wire forestays enable the complete furling of a headsail with stay riders or similar attachments (e.g. plastic stay riders, buttons, Velcro or zip fasteners). Reefing is not possible as the wire forestay is unsuitable as a winding core and would damage the sail. This type of system is particularly popular with classic yachts and, where possible, is installed below deck in order to maintain the traditional appearance despite modern technology.

From a forestay length of 8 metres, we recommend the use of a halyard swivel with clutch and towing terminal. In the upper end position, the halyard swivel engages in the longitudinal groove of the cleat terminal. This ensures that the sail head is also rotated and prevents the furled sail from blowing up in strong winds. The luff length must be adjusted so that the halyard swivel is in the centre of the luff extrusion when the halyard is fully tensioned. Shorter luffs can be lengthened using a wire leader, for example for storm sails.

Advantages:

  • Safe and fast furling from the cockpit
  • Continued use of sails with staysails
  • Preservation of the classic appearance, especially with lower deck systems
  • Safe sail change, as the halyard always remains on the forestay via the halyard swivel

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.

Drop sleds with and without clutch

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 transfers 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.

Stage vortex

Stay swivels are the counterpart to jib furlers. The forestay to which the sail is attached rotates in stay furlers. 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. The sail head is fixed via a halyard swivel which is attached to the rotating forestay. This halyard swivel also contains a smooth-running ball bearing that decouples the rotation of the forestay and halyard so that the halyard is not wrapped around the forestay. The forestay wire is connected to the lower end of the swivel using an eye terminal. If a halyard swivel with clutch is used, the clutch rod is attached directly to the underside of the swivel via a lug.
