Continuous Line Furlers
Refined Design,
Performance & Reliability
Our Continuous Line Furlers put great performance and reliability within the reach of cruising and racing sailors alike.
Advanced drum technology
The range matches drum diameters to load ratings providing the optimum balance between speed and ease of furling. Drums incorporate a machined groove profile and cross-hole geometry to grip the furling line securely. When deploying the sail the continuous furling line self-ejects from the grip zone, remaining stationary for smoother, safer operation with minimum rope wear. A PTFE perimeter strip ensures the unloaded furling line can’t fall from the drum or become snagged.

Top-Down models for soft luff sails
Top-down furling provides a new level of simplicity, safety and speed for handling of soft luff sails such as asymmetric spinnakers and gennakers. Cruisers can now store, deploy and retrieve these sails as simply as they would a furling headsail from the safety and convenience of the cockpit. Racers too can benefit from the characteristics of top-down to allow superfast retrieval of code zeros by pre-winding the torsion rope and firing the sheet when ready. Ronstan furlers are available with top-down adapters or in dedicated topdown models with practical accessories such as top swivel lashing pins to provide the perfect solution.

Maintenance free bearing system
Furlers and top swivels feature a factory sealed,maintenance free bearing. Roller bearing sets run on hardened races for smooth high load performance.

Easy continuous line installation and removal
The continuous furling line is easily fitted and removed from the furler, so it can be left on deck when the sail and furler are stowed below.

Secure & flexible attachment
Furlers and top swivels have retained clevis pins and top swivels have a snag-free low profile shackle pin head. Attachment options include quick release pins, high resistance shackles, snap shackles, fairleads and torsion rope thimbles. The furling line guide can be adjusted to suit either 0˚ or 90˚ attachment, as required to match the take-off alignment and deck layout.

Rotation stop accessory
A compact rotation stop can be added to compatible models of furlers to avoid inadvertent unfurling of the sail. The rotation stop is simply installed on the underside of the furler and can be locked out when in use, or in when the sail is furled or stowed.

Standard Furling Systems
- Torsion rope
- Top swivel
- Thimble
- Standard furler
- 2:1 or 3:1 fairlead, shackle or snap shackle to padeye
Applications: Sails with a “straight” luff.
For upwind sailing, true wind angles less than 90°.
• Code Zero • Screecher • Staysail
How it works
1. Furling drum rotated. Winds sail around torsion rope along full length.
2. Sail continues to furl along full length of torsion rope.
For upwind sailing, true wind angles less than 90°.
• Code Zero • Screecher • Staysail
How it works
1. Furling drum rotated. Winds sail around torsion rope along full length.
2. Sail continues to furl along full length of torsion rope.
Top-Down Furling Systems
- Torsion rope
- Top swivel
- Thimble
- Top-down furler or standard furler with top-down adapter (S200 & S280)
- Integrated swivel ring
- 2:1 or 3:1 fairlead, shackle or snap shackle to padeye
Applications: Sails with a “soft” luff, and full mid-section
For downwind sailing, true wind angle greater than 90°.
• Code 1-6 • Reacher • Runner • Gennaker
How it works
1. Furling drum rotated. Tack remains stationary on 'floating' swivel ring while torsion rope rotates top swivel, commencing to wind sail around torsion rope from top and full mid-section.
2. Sail continues to furl from top down.
