PROFURL C420 Manual Headsail Furler System - 18m (59') - Boats 42-45 ft

The PROFURL C420 represents premium manual headsail furling engineered for cruising sailboats measuring 42 to 45 feet (13-15m). This 18-meter furling length configuration handles forestays up to 10mm (3/8") wire or 12.7mm (1/2") rod-40 diameter with impressive capacity for genoas reaching 80 square meters or 620 square feet. High-strength 100 C6 carbon steel ball bearings reside within sealed, grease-immersed housings featuring dual-lip seals that prevent saltwater intrusion while blocking sand, dust, and environmental contaminants. The removable drum utilizes UV-stabilized, dimensionally stable plastic construction capable of absorbing anchor impacts and collision loads without fracturing. PROFURL's patented wrap-stop mechanism eliminates halyard fouling at the headstay terminus while reducing bearing stress and halyard chafe throughout extended passages. Doubled steel cage arms maintain positive furling line control even under slack conditions during sail deployment. The standard luff feeder enables effortless single-handed sail hoisting, with optional Wichard opening pre-feeders available for enhanced ease. Aerodynamic round silver-anodized extrusions with internal longitudinal ribs provide optimal strength-to-weight ratios while ensuring smooth rotation. Installation versatility includes deck-mounted, long link plate elevation, or below-deck configurations. Accepts 8mm or 10mm furling lines with generous drum storage capacity. Ideal for serious bluewater cruising and offshore passages. 10-year worldwide warranty.
