Selden Gennaker Furlers - GX

This sail is often called ingennaker in or incruising chute in. The mid girth is >75% of the foot length and the sail is defined as a spinnaker in most international measurement rules. The luff is at least 2% longer than the leech and this is what makes the sail asymmetric. This sail is furled with a Selden GX system and fitted at the tack to the swiveling tack attachment and at the head to the halyard swivel. An AT-cable connects the drum and the halyard swivel and transmits the rotation of the drum enabling the furling to start at the top and work its way down until the entire sail is stowed away. This is called top-down furling. The Selden GX furler is fitted to the bow of the boat or preferably on a retractable Selden bow sprit to expose the sail to the wind and to get clearance from the forestay. The halyard tension is moderate and the sail is hoisted using the spinnaker halyard. This sail performs at its best in apparent wind angles between 70° and 110° .
