The design is quite flat and reaches its maximum performance in apparent wind angles between 40° and 90° whilst also being a great downwind sail for the cruising sailor.
#Code zero furler code
The Code 0 is hoisted as high as the mast dimension permits and is tacked to the bow or to a sturdy bowsprit. Basically its a bigger and lighter Genoa that flies on a bowsprit in front of the jib. An AT-cable is integrated in the luff of the sail and fitted with thimbles in head and tack, and the entire luff length is furled simultaneously. I think with 'Code Zero' (that is usually furling) I mean drifter wind seeker or whatever. The luff is straight, set under tension and made for furling which simplifies the handling of this large sail. The Volvo Ocean Race was the break through for the Code 0 concept, but lately the benefits of this type of sail have become recognised and appreciated also amongst ordinary sailors for the extra power it brings to light wind sailing. Once the sail is furled it can be neatly dropped and coiled into a bag or left hoisted for later use. To douse the sail, ease the sheet, pull the continuous furling line and secure it. The Code Zero is a cross between a genoa and an asymmetrical spinnaker that is used for sailing close to the wind in light air. Simply hoist the furled sail, release the furling line, pull on the sheet and you have added horse power to your sailing and given your crew a positive sailing experience. The power and acceleration achieved when unfurling a Code 0 or Code C is spectacular and it makes sailing that much more enjoyable. just another benefit of the Rolly Tasker furling kit. We custom make this to your desired length at no extra cost. InclusionsĪlso included in the kit is a professionally spliced endless furling line. The new Sveggen furlers are the result of extensive practical testing on the water helped by input from his fellow sailors, to make a furler that is robust yet easy and reliable to use, even in adverse conditions. As the owner of a specialised company that makes highly complex parts for watches, helicopters and the aerospace industry, he decided to design and make furling gear for his own boat. Sveggen furling gear has been developed by the French engineer David Bonnafois, a highly experienced yachtsman. They utilise enclosed stainless-steel ball bearings for easy furling even under heavy load with an easy to feed 10mm line for a good grip. The robust and compact furler and top swivel are designed for a load of 2.5 tons with breaking strength at 5 tons. Sveggen furlers are a clever design and with robust construction, milled from a single piece of hard adonized 7075 aluminium to endure even the most severe conditions at sea. The special, quick-release connecting bolts on both the furler and the top swivel can easily be opened and closed even with cold and numb fingers. for trouble-free, easy operation on board.
