All moulded components are manufactured in our Lorient (France) workshops, using high-pressure injection techniques. This engineering process gives the composite material properties which are comparable to certain metals, while remaining totally impervious to corrosion, therefore virtually maintenance-free.
Our "S" series of headsail gears are extremely easy to install and take down. It requires no unstepping of the mast, and no modification of the forestay, thanks to a unique (patented) design which allows quick and easy installation directly on the tensioned forestay.
The inner PVC liner is clipped onto the forestay and the aluminium spar slides easily over the PVC liner.
The risk of tearing sails at junctions is therefore much reduced.
The unique design allows swift and easy installation directly on the tensioned forestay.
• 608 S : for boats from 6 to 8 m (20 to 26 ft).
The 608 S is fitted with twin ball bearing races - alternating Delrin (r) and stainless steel- and stemhead brackets with adjustable width. Besides their stylish design, the drum cheeks swivel through 360° : by providing the best angle to the line, the drum cheeks prevent snagging and chafing.
