Buy electric genoa system - the future of headsails
Your genoa or jib is by far the most used sail on board. Multiple times a day you reef, unroll, or fully stow this sail. With a traditional manual system this requires physical effort on the furling line every time. During longer sailing days, increasing wind or fatigue this can become quite demanding. An electric genoa roller furling system takes this work completely off your hands. The powerful motor does the heavy work while you stay relaxed at the helm.
Advantages of electric genoa reefing and stowing
The investment in an electric genoa furling system pays for itself immediately in sailing pleasure and safety. The advantages over manual systems are substantial and make a world of difference while sailing.
- Reefing and stowing your genoa with one simple push of a button
- Immediate response in suddenly rising wind or approaching storms
- Perfect control over the amount of unrolled sail for optimal trim
- No more physical strain, ideal for all ages and physical conditions
- Operation from any position in the cockpit, even while steering
- Safer sailing without sending crew to the foredeck
- Less fatigue during long sailing days or multi-day passages
- Consistent, even rolling technique for longer sail lifespan
Seldén Furlex Electric series - proven quality
Seldén from Sweden has been producing the most reliable roller furling systems in the world for decades. The Furlex system is legendary among sailors and the electric version builds on this reputation. We offer two variants of the electric Furlex system, each designed for specific applications and preferences.
The Seldén Furlex Electric is the standard electric genoa furler with the well-known Furlex quality and an integrated electric motor. This system is suitable for genoas up to 70 square meters and is easy to install on most cruising yachts. The motor is fully waterproof and corrosion resistant, designed for years of reliable use in marine conditions. The control can be via a simple switch in the cockpit or integrated with your onboard network.
The Seldén Furlex Through Deck Electric variant combines electric operation with a below-deck mounted drum. This results in an extremely clean foredeck without a visible drum, which is not only aesthetically attractive but also practical. There are no obstacles to step over and the chance of damage to the drum from halyard or anchor is eliminated. This variant is often chosen for modern yachts, superyachts and boats where design and functionality go hand in hand.
Technical considerations for electric genoa systems
When purchasing an electric genoa roller furling system some technical aspects come into play. Onboard voltage is the first thing to check - the Seldén Furlex Electric systems are available in 12V and 24V versions. Choose the voltage that matches your onboard network. Larger yachts often have 24V systems that offer more power and faster response.
Your battery system capacity is also important. Although a single furl action consumes relatively little energy, frequent use throughout the day can add up. We recommend a well-dimensioned battery bank with sufficient reserve. The diameter of your forestay and the size of your genoa determine which model is suitable. Our advisors are happy to help you determine the right specifications.
