One of the flagship products is GFS, flush-deck motorised foresail furler with spherical fulcrum. All components above deck are made of polished stainless steel. Another significant product is FT “Flat Tack Furler”, manual foresail furler with low tack fitting on deck allowing for maximum luff length and low sail centre of gravity. The unit is machined “from solid” blocks of aluminium. The newest trends concern green technology. Boat builders are moving towards electric equipment, since it is “cleaner”.
