The NEX 2.5 free flying furler from Profurl is designed for smooth, efficient handling of large flying sails such as gennakers, Code Zero, solent, and staysails. Part of the latest generation of NEX furlers, it features significant upgrades in performance, safety, and usability—ideal for yachts over 80 feet with sails up to 350m².
This set includes a drum with clevis pin snap shackle and a top swivel with a high-resistance D-shackle. The FURLASSIST ratchet system is sold separately and can be installed later if desired.
Key features:
- S-GRIP groove design: Enhanced line grip, even when wet, reduces effort and line wear during furling.
- Optimized spool diameter: Provides ideal torque for smoother, easier furling.
- Lightweight construction: Each component is engineered for low weight to improve sail handling and onboard performance.
- SAFE SYSTEM: Built-in safety feature stops the furling line during sail deployment to reduce risk and extend line life.
- I-CONNECT quick attachment: Quick, ergonomic sail connection system allows for easy, single-handed operation.
