LS & RX Headsail Furlers

Facnor LS & RX Furlers – For Cruising and Performance Sailing

Looking for a reliable and efficient headsail furler for your sailboat? Facnor offers two complementary product lines tailored to different sailing styles: the LS range for cruising and the RX range for racing or fast cruising. Whether you're sailing offshore, coastal, or chasing performance, Facnor furlers are designed for long-lasting reliability, no-maintenance mechanisms, and easy installation without cutting the forestay.

LS Range – Simple and Reliable Cruising Furlers

Facnor LS furlers are ideal for cruisers who want a dependable and cost-effective solution that’s been proven over thousands of miles at sea. These furlers suit all types of sailboats and are particularly well-adapted to offshore and coastal cruising.

Key Features:

• Economical and widely tested around the world
• Classic drum and sealed bearing swivel (maintenance-free)
• Round aluminum twin-groove extrusion
• Telescopic foil for easy and precise installation
• 360° adjustable fairlead for the furling line

Cruising Benefits:

• The LS furler can be installed without modifying or cutting the forestay. Maintenance is minimal (a simple freshwater rinse), and the robust connections, SX profiles, and aluminum sail feeder ensure smooth operation and excellent longevity.

RX Range – Performance Furlers for Racing and Fast Cruising

For racers and performance-oriented cruisers, the RX range delivers optimized weight and aerodynamics without compromising reliability. Built on the same robust mechanical base as the LS range, RX furlers are designed for flexibility and precision.

Key Features:

• Lightweight, aerodynamic foil profiles
• Rotating tack fitting for better sail shape
• Removable drum for use on a bare forestay (twin-groove foil on all models)
• Same durable connections and internal mechanics as the LS range
• Quick conversion from cruising to racing setup

Race/Cruise Versatility:

• Thanks to removable side plates, the RX furler can be adapted in minutes for use with a twin-groove foil or hanks, depending on your rig and sailing conditions.
