Hi fellow sailors,

My name is Carlos Azevedo from Portugal and I'm the happy new owner os a 86" Dufour Yatch 4800

I'm trying to identify a Genoa Furling system that came with the boat, it seems a Facnor model and that makesense becouse Facnor and Dufour are French brands but I'm hoping someone here may know the system and may help me to identify it so I can get the manual and service it to be 100% funcional and safe.
I atatch some images down from furler drum and top swivel
Thank you very much

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new sailboat!!

You are off to a good start attempting to identify the manufacturer.........as a start, suggest contacting your local Facnor dealer with photos and ask them for help to identify the model and a suitable manual. Your local rigger might be able to help.
