RGEEL
Electric external mainsail furler

External electric mainsail furler to be fitted onto the existing mast. It is supplied with
a motorization that replaces the classic manual “worm screw” coil drive. This solution allows you to reef, furl and unfurl the sail by simply pushing a button from the cockpit. Both the external foils that stow the sail and the internal ones on which the sail furls are the same as the ones used on the manual system. The motorization has a cylindrical shape and is available for either 12 or 24 Volts installations.

GFI
Hydraulic foresail furler

Mechanisms that require very low maintenance, with vanguard transmission systems. The use of high quality industrial products, bearings, gears, and endless screw, create a smooth and silent reduction gear with automatic stop. The high torque output is granted by the use of orbital hydraulic motors. The worm screw reduction gear is an irreversible mechanism which absorbs the torque created by the sail area without passing it onto the hydraulic motor.

BPC-TRIM
Hydraulic cylinder with tackle

It is a tackle system operated by a “push-pull” hydraulic cylinder. It has been designed mainly for the management of sheets (mainsail, genoa), but it may also be used for other running rigging (runner). The device is made up by a 4:1 tackle allowing to stow a quantity of line that is four times longer than the cylinder stroke. The system is controlled by an electric hydraulic power-pack to be customized.

RGEM

It is made of two telescopic tubes equipped with special connecting terminals with integrated pulleys that allow for a compact line tackle.

“OPEN” High load halyard swivel
High load halyard swivels

The swivel is machined from aluminium alloy treated with hardcote anodizing, thus allowing for a high protection from wear and atmospheric agents. The internal part touching the foils is coated with a plastic material that grants its smooth sliding along the foils, and protects it from localized wear
when the sail is working.The innovative design allows for an easy and quick inspection of the internal ball bearings without taking the swivel off
from the foils.

Foil with expanding openable connector
Aluminium foils with openable expanding connectors

The connector is made up of three aluminium parts and by Delrin® bushes composed by two half bearings. Such system allows the installation of the foils both on wire stays with a swage threaded terminal fitted on, and on rod stays (even after the terminal has been swaged). These splice pieces, with their innovative “expanding” system, make the foils become a monolithic element, without stressing the screws that hold the splice pieces linked to the foils.
