Seldén Furlex 40S is a compact jib furling system for dinghies, keelboats and small multihulls using a 4 mm forestay. It is designed for sails with a maximum recommended LP measurement of 3000 mm.
The 40S furls the sail around a rotating forestay wire rather than around an aluminium foil. It has no luff extrusion and is therefore intended for furling, not reefing. Forestay wire is not included with the kit.

The Furlex 40S complete kit includes the top swivel, halyard swivel, furling drum, tack fitting and furling line.
The structural 4 mm forestay wire is not included. The forestay forms the furling axis and rotates with the sail when the jib is furled.
The 40S does not use the luff extrusion found on larger conventional Furlex systems. Because there is no aluminium foil supporting the sail luff, Seldén specifies the 20S, 30S and 40S as furling systems rather than reefing systems.
The jib should therefore be designed and used as a sail that is either deployed or furled away, rather than partially rolled as a reefed working sail.
Both the Furlex 30S and 40S are designed around 4 mm forestay wire, but the 40S accommodates the larger sail.
| Specification | 30S | 40S |
|---|---|---|
| Forestay | 4 mm | 4 mm |
| Maximum recommended LP | 2500 mm | 3000 mm |
| Furling line | 4 mm | 5 mm |
| Drum diameter | 85 mm | 100 mm |
This makes sail size, rather than forestay diameter alone, an important distinction when choosing between the two systems.
See our Seldén Furlex 20S, 30S and 40S range to compare the small-boat furling systems.
Contact Martin Leaning Masts & Rigging if you would like us to check your forestay diameter, sail LP measurement or existing Furlex before ordering.
