On my 2003 Hanse 371 I use a Facnor SD 180 furler.

Lately I experienced more and more difficulties with the rolling in and out of the headsail.
An extensive check showed that the topswivel was faulty.
As a new swivel would cost me 800 euro I decided to buy a completely new system.
My sailmaker recommended me the Facnor flat deck FD 210.
I was a bit afraid that this wide furler wouldn't fit but in the end (albeit with little surplus) it fitted perfectly.
Very satisfied with the smooth operation and because of the webbing system no more reefing line overriding.
An additional advantage is that due to the lower positioning of the drum the headsail is placed a bit lower above the deck.

Hi Koen, I have no problems with my Facnor. But I would like to see your new Facnor fitted on a 371. So please could you make a picture for us?

Happy sailing!

on the bottom picture I had stainless steel rings installed to guide the webbing.
