Gennaker + Asymmetric Furlers 

Sanders Sails supply all makes of Gennaker and Asymmetric furler including:  Facnor, Karver, Harken, Selden and Ronstan.  It is probable that to use one of these systems efficiently a bowsprit or a masthead modification may be required.  Sanders Sails do not undertake the ‘dirty hands’ stuff but can usually recommend someone who does.

TIDESMARINE TRACK

A cost effective, neat and efficient way to add a batten car system to your mast without having to fill it with holes.

The Tidesmarine Track slides into the existing luff groove bridging the mast gate and creating a continuous low friction extrusion for the beautifully engineered sliders to fit into.

SNUFFERS
In order to control a Cruising Chute or Spinnaker when short handed it is advisable to fit a snuffer.  Snuffers are sleeves of fabric which can be pulled down over the sail ‘dousing it’ and therefore eliminating the majority of the drama.  Snuffers are made in several styles but we only offer two:

Plastic Mouth
This is a cost effective yet still efficient design.  We do not recommend them for the larger sails but they are acceptable for yachts up to 35ft.

ATN Sleeve The ATN Sleeve has a lozenge shaped fibreglass mouth which is light, durable and easy to stow. The sleeve fabric is totally porous which enables the air to escape easily and the rope is of a large diameter for more comfortable handling.  For peace of mind this is the snuffer to choose.
