193 Improved sail shape and boat control • Independent halyard and tack swivels furl sail center before head and tack for improved sail shape when reefed. • Lightweight aluminum halyard swivel saves weight aloft to reduce pitching and heeling. • Tack sits at deck level, lowering the tack height for maximized sail area. • The torque tube houses a full-length turnbuckle for optimal mast rake and tension adjustment. • Units 1, 2, 3: High-strength universal joints articulate, allowing ample headstay sag when sailing downwind. • Unit 0: Articulating ball joint eliminates universal joint to reduce weight, simplify maintenance. Fast hoists, douses, reefs, and sail changes • Precision-extruded, double-groove Air foils for smooth sail handling and fast sail changes. • Stainless steel feeder allows fast singlehanded hoist and sail changes. Designed for easy installation • Units 1, 2, 3: Self-locking threaded height adjuster for correct fit between chainplate and deck. • Unit 0: Does not require height adjuster; furler and headstay independent of each other allowing flexible installation options. • Torque tube fits over existing turnbuckle allowing easy length adjustment. Hub assembly toggle accepts standard turnbuckle using swage, rod, Norseman, or STA-LOK® terminals. Belowdeck drum fits narrow bows • Small outside drum diameter. Easy to maintain • Bearings require no lubrication or isolating seals. • Through-deck bearing into underdeck compartment provides a low profile, nearly watertight system.
