Profurl furling systems can be adapted to your boat's configuration, not vice versa. Profurl offers a wide range of fittings, a description of each fitting is listed below:-
Standard Fitting with Short Link Plates

· Fitting with adjustment plates is also possible
· Standard locking device and threaded pin for a stay eye fitting
Fitting Close to the Deck with Stainless Steel Lockers
· To increase the luff length
· Stainless steel locking device and a smooth pin
Fitting with Long Link Plates
· The drum can be lifted to avoid interference with the anchor and to reduce the sail chafe on the lifelines
· The forestay length is still adjustable
· Standard locking device
Fitting with a Turnbuckle Cylinder
· The rigging screw is in the turnbuckle cylinder
· The furling line can be fitted lower to the deck
· It is also possible to use a combination of a turnbuckle cylinder and long link plates
Below the Deck Fitting
· An aesthetic solution chosen by some boat builders (Bénéteau, X-yacht).
