Barton 42335 – Large Furling Drum 95mm, Single Line System, Max Sail 100 sq ft
The Barton 42335 Large Furling Drum is a high-capacity furling solution designed for efficient jib handling on dinghies, catamarans, and light cruising yachts. It enables single-line furling operation, allowing the sail to be deployed and reefed directly from the cockpit.
According to the Barton furler fact sheet :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}, this model features a re-designed drum system with improved line control and enhanced performance, including 3-point line retention and integrated guides that prevent line drop during operation.
The drum is manufactured from glass fibre reinforced nylon for strength and durability, with stainless steel ball races ensuring smooth, low-friction rotation. It is designed to work with the common top swivel (Part No. 42336), forming a complete furling system.
As illustrated in the installation guide :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}, the furling drum is mounted at the bow and connected to the forestay and jib, allowing the sail to be furled by pulling a control line routed back to the cockpit.
