Cosa tratta questo video
Assembling a ProFurl C350 furling system requires precise measurement of the forestay length and careful installation of foil extrusions, joiners, and bearings. Begin by laying out the foil sections alongside the forestay to determine the correct length, leaving a small gap below the swage fitting to allow for future turnbuckle adjustments.1:28 Drill the top clamp to the exact diameter of the wire—in this case, 5/16-inch or 8mm—to ensure a secure, uniform grip.3:24 When installing joiners and bushings, apply Loctite to all set screws to prevent them from backing out under load.8:20 Use Tef-Gel on screws connecting the transfer plate to the foil extrusions to prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals, ensuring the hardware remains serviceable for future adjustments.14:32 Ensure the upper swivel is installed on the wire before connecting the final foil sections to avoid disassembling the entire unit.10:43 Once the extrusions are connected, attach the drum and torque tube, leaving the turnbuckle accessible for final tensioning after the mast is stepped.11:38
