The NEX 4.0 free flying furler from Profurl is engineered for high-performance control of flying sails such as gennakers, Code Zero, solent, and staysails. Designed for yachts over 80 feet with sails up to 350m², it’s part of Profurl’s latest generation of furlers featuring key innovations in performance, safety, and handling.
This model includes a drum with clevis pin snap shackle and a top swivel with a high-resistance D-shackle. The FURLASSIST ratchet system is available separately and can be added at any time.
Key features:
- S-GRIP technology – Groove design enhances line grip, even when wet, for smoother furling and reduced line wear
- Optimized spool diameter – Provides ideal torque for easier furling with less effort
- Lightweight construction – Spool, swivel, and terminals are designed for reduced weight and improved sail response
- SAFE SYSTEM – Stops the furling line during sail deployment to prevent free-running, accidental damage, and line wear
- I-CONNECT quick attachment – Integrated, single-handed sail connection system with a captive pin for safe and efficient sail changes
