The fourth generation of Furlex is an uncompromising evolution of the world’s best selling jib furling and reefing system. Proven design blended with innovation is our way to maintain the iconic heritage of Furlex.

The halyard swivel for Furlex 204S features ball bearings and ball bearing races made from marine grade stainless steel, just like any other Furlex model since 1983. Low furling resistance, low maintenance and long life.  

Furlex, as in previous generations, comes as a complete kit including all parts needed for reliable and convenient furling of the foresail. It even includes a new forestay wire, furling line, stanchion lead blocks, a halyard lead and a prefeeder. A simple purchase. 

Similar to previous Furlex models, the standard kit requires that the wire is cut to length and fixed with a ‘Sta-lok’ mechanical wire locking system. A completely integrated rigging screw is offered as an option. It allows for adjustment of the forestay length without altering the height of the tack attachment.  You can choose the Forestay Diameter, Max. Length and the type of termination, either Standard Sta-lok terminal or a Sta-lok terminal & rigging screw.

If you need any help choosing the right Furlex please get in touch and one of our rigging experts can advise you.

Furlex 204S: Reliable Furling for Mid-Sized Cruisers

For sailors seeking a balance between performance, durability, and ease of use, the Furlex 204S hits the sweet spot. Designed for yachts up to 9 tonnes displacement, it’s part of Seldén’s fourth-generation Furlex series—bringing proven engineering and thoughtful design to the heart of the cruising fleet.

Whether you're coastal cruising or heading offshore, the 204S offers smooth furling, robust construction, and a complete kit that makes installation straightforward.

⚙️ Key Features of the Furlex 204S

1. Patented Load Distributor

Seldén’s signature load distributor reduces furling resistance and improves bearing longevity. It evenly spreads the load across the bearing surfaces, ensuring smooth operation even under high tension.

2. Twin-Groove Foil

The twin-groove luff extrusion allows for quick headsail changes and twin-sail setups—ideal for downwind sailing or racing configurations.

3. Integrated Rigging Screw (Optional)

An optional rigging screw lets you fine-tune forestay length without altering tack height. This is especially useful for adjusting mast rake or optimizing sail shape.

4. Marine-Grade Bearings

The halyard swivel and drum use stainless steel ball bearings, built to withstand saltwater exposure and heavy loads over time.

5. Complete Installation Kit

The 204S comes ready to install, including:

  • New forestay wire
  • Furling line
  • Stanchion lead blocks
  • Halyard lead
  • Pre-feeder
  • Sta-Lok mechanical wire terminal

📐 Technical Specifications

Specification Value
Max Boat Displacement 9,000 kg
Max Forestay Diameter 8 mm

🧭 Performance and Handling

The Furlex 204S is praised for its smooth furling action, even in gusty conditions. Sailors report that it handles well in winds up to 25 knots, though proper setup is key. Issues like halyard wrap or excessive forestay tension can impair performance, so attention to detail during installation pays off.

The system is robust enough for offshore use, yet light and compact enough for easy handling on mid-sized yachts.

🛠️ Ideal Applications

The Furlex 204S is best suited for:

  • Cruising yachts from 30–40 ft
  • Performance cruisers seeking reliable furling
  • Club racers who want twin headsail capability
  • Single-handed sailors looking for cockpit control

🧾 Final Thoughts

The Furlex 204S offers a compelling mix of engineering precision and cruising practicality. With its durable components, smart design, and complete kit, it’s a trusted choice for sailors who want dependable headsail furling without compromise.
