Wichard Opening Pre-Feeder

Wichard's Opening luff rope prefeeder for racing foils and furling systems. Before re-hoisting, the bowman doesn't need to remove the headsail from the luff grove, he has to open the prefeeder and close it around the luff tape. No need to remove the headsail anymore! To open it, simple push the spring with your thumb, the jaws together between your thumb and fingers, until the spring reengages.

The prefeeder can be easily installed below any headsail foil or headsail reefing configuration. In the closed position, it ensures a smooth and easy sail hoist.

Single handed operation by pushing the spring. Easy to install with a lashing or fixed to the forestay. Stainless steeel product benefiting from the Wichard know-how to offer the highest reliability.
