Profurl Furlers: Supply and Installation in Phuket
Armaci supplies and installs Profurl furling systems in Phuket for cruising yachts, racing yachts and multihulls. We help assess a suitable system for your sail plan, forestay and deck layout, and plan installation alongside related rigging work.
Warranty varies by model: selected manual headsail furlers carry ten years; NEX flying sail furlers carry three years. Manufacturer terms apply. Ask Armaci to confirm the warranty for your chosen model.
Manual Headsail Furlers for Cruising and Racing
CRUISING MODELS : C260 | C290 | C320 | C350 | C420 | C430 | C480 | C520 | C530 | C700
RACING MODELS : R250 | R350 | R420 | R430 | R480
High performance systems
The extrusions are made lighter and stronger thanks to a special alloy (6106).
The ball bearings have an optimized weight / resistance ratio.
The Wichard opening pre-feeder is delivered as standard on Racing models to hoist the sail faster.
Sealed Bearings and Product Care
Profurl manual headsail furlers use sealed, grease-immersed bearings to protect the bearing mechanism. Product construction and care requirements vary by model.
Sealed bearings do not remove the need to inspect the complete furling installation and yacht rig. Follow the manufacturer’s manual for checks, cleaning and product care, and arrange assessment if operation changes or components show damage.
Ease of use
PROFURL manual furling systems have been designed to ease operations:
The standard feeder enables to easily hoist the sail by only one crew member.
The optional opening pre-feeder, manufactured by Wichard, smoothly guides the sail’s luff tape into the extrusions, whilst rapidly hoisting the sail. When re-hoisting it, the pre-feeder can be reattached to the luff tape without removing the headsail from the extrusion.
Safety of use
Double cage arms (exclusive to PROFURL) prevent the furling line from jumping off the drum and allow the furling line to re-align onto the drum by simply pulling on the line.
Stainless steel locking devices are dedicated to boats with a closed to deck fitting.
On the C480, C520, C530 and R480 models, special locking devices have been designed to withstand the higher loads.
Reliability of materials
PROFURL rigorously selects the materials to be used for the manufacturing of the different components: these parts are submitted to bench-tests in order to assess their resistance.
Ball bearings are made of high strength 100 C6 carbon steel.
Drums are made of high impact plastic.
Extrusions use a special alloy (6106) and offer one of the best weight / resistance ratios.
The feeder and the opening pre-feeder are made of stainless steel (316L), except for C290.
NEX / SPINEX Flying sail furlers
NEX furlers cover applications such as code zero and gennaker sails. SPINEX provides top-down furling for suitable asymmetric spinnakers. Selection depends on sail construction, working loads and deck layout. Contact Armaci to discuss compatibility, supply and installation in Phuket. Follow the product manual for installation, inspection and care.
