Key Features of the Furlex 104S

1. Stainless Steel Bearings

The halyard swivel and tack assembly feature marine-grade stainless steel ball bearings, ensuring smooth rotation under load and long-term reliability—even in saltwater environments.

2. Dyneema® Lashing

Instead of a rigid attachment, the halyard swivel uses a Dyneema lashing to center the load and reduce wear. This clever design minimizes halyard wrap and improves furling consistency.

3. Integrated Rigging Screw (Optional)

For sailors who want precise forestay adjustment, the 104S offers an optional integrated rigging screw. This allows tuning of mast rake or sail shape without altering the tack height.

4. Complete Kit

The Furlex 104S comes as a ready-to-install kit, including:

• New forestay wire

• Furling line

• Stanchion lead blocks
• Halyard lead
• Pre-feeder
• Sta-Lok mechanical wire terminal

Installation is straightforward and can be completed in a few hours with basic tools.
