They have gone for a basic, minimalistic design which focuses on reliability and performance. This is a common problem with lower quality systems which save cost by using lower spec parts which may wear out faster and fail at lower than expected loads.
There are no castings or plastic parts in these furlers to ensure structural integrity, strength and durability.īamar's key components are machined from solid aluminium blocks - photo © Bamarīased on years of experience of bigger systems and their use/abuse, Bamar use very high quality and deliberately oversized furler bearings to ensure that even at maximum recommended working load the drum and swivel are guaranteed to turn freely.
However, there are some key distinguishing features which sets Bamar RLG EVO apart from competitors in this category.įor their "no-compromise" approach, all key components are machined from solid aluminium blocks. On the face of it the RLG-EVO furler looks very similar to other continuous line furlers cut-away holes in both drum cover and drum, a slot in the drum which allows quick easy loading and unloading of the continuous furling line and quick release pins.

However, to complete their extensive furling portfolio they include a range of manual genoa reefing furlers and the RLG EVO range for code zeros and asymmetric gennakers / spinnakers. In line with their goal to "automate furling systems", the majority of Bamar's product catalogue displays a 50/50 mix between electric and hydraulic systems for mainsails, genoas, code zeros and staysails. However, all this knowledge and expertise has been condensed into their standard ranges of manual, electric and hydraulic furling systems for smaller yachts. In this blog we will take a look at Bamar's RLG EVO range of continuous line, code 0 furlers, and their key features and benefits.Īs the marine division of a much larger engineering company, Bamar utilise extensive experience and resources in the production and design of large, complex, and often custom, superyacht systems for which they have won many international awards. Hailing from Northern Italy, Bamar are over 40 years old and on a mission to create sleek, performance-orientated furling designs that aim to 'partially automate sailing operations'.
