Giulietta Sailing Team Sponsored by Marina de Cascais and Mauri Pro Sailing

With 40 miles to go, a southwest storm began brewing. Winds were gusting from 28 knots to 35 knots causing 6 foot sea waves on a 10 foot swell. Team Giulietta Racing sponsored by Marina de Cascais and Mauri Pro Sailing had a great start at the VIII Regata Clube de Naval de Cascais in Portugal. An obstacle ran their way when they ripped the jib luff tape on the pre-start hoist. On the second tack, the jib sheet came undone resulting in more time lost. Even with these barriers, Team Giulietta Racing finished 2nd in real time behind a 65 foot Shipman 63, and placed 3rd on corrected time.

Congratulations to Alex and crew on a great result this past weekend! Mauri Pro Sailing is proud to be a sponsor for Team Giulietta Racing and is looking forward to their future events.

Facnor Asymmetrical Spinnaker Furler

No more awkward operations on the foredeck, for example to take the sail down. The Asym-FX furler has been developed through Open 60 race technology. Ready for use very quickly. Your asymmetric Spinnaker is safely and quickly pulled up, taken down and stored. Adaptation on existing asymmetric Spinnaker with only small modifications.

With the ASYM-FX you will furl your asymmetric Spinnaker as easily as your Gennaker. Handle your sail comfortably from the cockpit by just pulling the continuous furling line. This operation will make the drum and then the anti-twist luff rope rotate. The luff rope transmits the rotation to the central furling rope. This will make the luff of the asymmetric Spinnaker furl from the center. The continuous line drum prevents the furling line from overriding. The furling line can be removed from the drum without any mechanical operation.
