Tack Swivel for CXr Nail Terminal
Tack Swivel – For Top-down furling
The Tack Swivel is designed to convert a standard CXr furling system into a top-down furling system, which is essential for handling an asymmetric spinnaker.
The sail is connected only at two points: the halyard swivel at the top and the Tack Swivel at the bottom. As the sail is free flying between these points, it cannot be furled like a traditional sail. Instead, the AT-cable transfers the furling motion from the top, starting to furl the head of the sail first. As the cable continues to rotate, the furl progressively works its way down until the sail is completely furled.
The Tack Swivel is made from machined aluminium, providing strength without unnecessary weight. It features a stainless steel tack ring with Torlon® ball bearings to ensure smooth rotation even under high load. A Dyneema lashing is provided for attaching the tack of the sail to the Tack Swivel.
Slide the Tack Swivel on to the Nail terminal and secure with one screw
