Now the next step within performance oriented in-
mast furling mainsails is introduced: The Elvström
FatFurl XL.
The headboard is now as large as 400 mm. The
roach is even a bit larger than on a standard mainsail
to fold on the boom. The backstay is of Dyneema and
the boat has a backstay flicker, that provides more
space for a fuller roach.
FatFurl was originally introduced by Hallberg-
Rassy in 2012 on Hallberg-Rassy 412 No 001. The
boat sailed, and won, her category in the famous Tjörn
Runt race, no matter if the time was calculated after
handicap or on actual sailed time. This was the first
time a boat with in-mast furling won her category in
Tjörn Runt, a very demanding race, where all the best
local sailors take part.
The name FatFurl is an invention by Magnus
Rassy, a powerful name that says both that it is a furl-
ing sail, and a full, fat, roach.
The new FatFurl XL takes this concept yet an-
other step further.I am convinced that Elvstrøm Sails
is the leading sail maker
within furling designs.
