The Jiber genoa furler manufactured by Ubi Maior and distributed by Nautex is remarkable in several respects.
The sail can be attached to the forestay using 2 systems: small straps with T bone, or a zipped sheath. In both cases the jib can be put on and taken off very quickly and much faster than conventional reels.
Not having aluminum elements around the forestay means that you save several tens of kilos compared to the traditional system, which may seem little but this weight counts a lot especially when they are in the heights!
An additional benefit is better performance upwind thanks to reduced drag and drift at the leading edge allowing the boat to make more course and sail faster.
In addition to being able to adjust the halyard tension at any time, the small dimensions of the Jiber allow you to equip your boat with larger head sails.
No need to choose between the performance of the tuff-luff or the ease of a winder, here you have the advantages of both in one system.
