Stagreiter sail furling system

This type of system with a compact and cost-effective deck bushing is used on sporty dinghies and yachts where the furling mechanism should disappear below deck in order to achieve the lowest possible attachment point for the sail neck above deck. The DK deck bushing with spherical cap must be fitted in the direction of pull of the forestay and is not completely watertight. However, for complete watertightness and independently movable angles both above and below deck, the DD type deck lead-throughs are ideal.

The furling jib systems with halyard swivels for wire forestays allow a headsail to be fully furled using stay riders or a similar attachment to the forestay, such as plastic stay riders, buttons, Velcro or zip fasteners. Reefing is not possible, however, as the wire forestay is not suitable as a winding core; the sail would be constricted, twisted and damaged.

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, which also rotates the sail head. This prevents the furled sail from billowing in the head area in strong winds. The length of the luff must be adjusted so that the halyard swivel is approximately in the centre of the luff extrusion when the halyard is set. For sails with a shorter luff, such as storm sails, the wire lead must be extended.

Advantages:

  • Compact and cost-effective
  • Safe and fast furling from the cockpit
  • Continued use of sails with staysails
  • Preservation of the yacht's classic appearance
  • Safe sail change (the halyard always remains attached to the forestay via the halyard swivel when changing sails)
  • Lowest possible attachment point for the sail halyard

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.

DK deck bushing with spherical cap

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.

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.
