Main advantages of Spinex 
Sail bearing technology: an efficient and guaranteed 
Observation: the asymmetrical spinnaker fabric is light and fragile, cable anti-torsion tends to damage. More during the course, the cable rotating faster than sailing, it can sometimes retract and thus block (reverse phenomenon furl).Response Profurl: Sail Bearing Technology is characterized by the use of high density spheres freely rotating around the cable and against rotation to protect the soft cable.Sail Bearing Technology allows: 
• Remove any contact between the sail and the cable 
• to suppress the phenomenon of reverse blocking and thus furl the sail 
• Limit the fabric wear
• Make the winding easier and faster by providing a larger diameter (than a single cable)
