Note: Special Order Only

• Cast in bronze from the original patterns, each part is carefully machined, polished, and assembled by English craftsmen to produce a beautiful and efficient furling system.
• Fitted with stainless steel thrust races to ensure free running and easy sail furling.
• Bronze is a favored material to use for traditional boat fittings because it takes casting, machining, and polishing very well, is relatively strong and incredibly resistant to salt water.
• While bronze is often more expensive initially than other marine grade materials, this expense is easily recovered through the high strength and long life bronze provides.
• Sold as a set that includes a top swivel and lower drum, or both components sold separately too.
