Maintenance  
Bearings in main lower unit and halyard car are precision hardened and ground sealed in neoprene, which ensures a maintenance free system.

Positive Locking Pawl
Our system has a positive locking mechanical pawl. Like your primary winch. When you reef, drum is locked at every revolution, giving maximum sailing performance. Other furling systems, when reefed are continually moving, due to stretch of the reef line. Pawl is released by a simple lever (hyfield) at helmsman position. This feature is only available on "Reef Rite". With a normal furling system, a broken reef line means you suddenly have full sail.

Radial Adjustment
360o adjustment given to accurately align rope belt to the first rope guide.

Forestay Adjustment
All Models.

Spares
