The new Profurl flying sail furler NEX DRUM was displayed at METSTRADE 2024
To meet a recurring demand from both racing boats, like Class40, and cruising multihulls, Profurl has innovated by offering three models of flying sail furlers with drum. These were displayed at the METSTRADE boat show in Amsterdam from November 19th to 21st, allowing marine professionals to test these new products.
With a modern design, the new NEX DRUM furler has been engineered to furl flying sails, such as the solent, staysail, gennaker, or code 0.
Compact, it fits easily to the deck layout, optimizes the sail’s luff, and enhances the overall performance of the boat.
Additionally, it offers a wide range of terminals.
Tested in all conditions, it simplifies maneuvers, making them faster and more intuitive. Indeed, like all manual Profurl furlers, the NEX DRUM features the reliable and proven technology that has built the brand’s reputation, including ultra-hard 100C6 carbon steel bearings.
These allow sails to furl under heavy loads without compressing the bearings.
Sealed in a grease bath, the mechanism is protected from external elements (salt, sand, etc.) and requires no maintenance.
