Anti-Torsion NS Evo Torque Cable Kit
from € 290 | $ 310

Soft stay set featuring NS Evo Torque Cable is designed as a ready to assemble solution for top-down furler anti-torsion stay making. Anti-twist cable transfers rotation of the drum to the upper swivel in order to tightly roll sails with a “soft” luff from top to down, preventing formation of air bubbles in the sail’s large mid section.

You are free to use a soft stay on sails with the “stretched” luff if they lack anti-torsion or Dyneema luff tape, – to furl more securely and evenly. In this case you will be able to use a Code Zero type furler model with the same soft stay kit as for the Top-Down equivalent.

NS Evo Torque Cable set includes an anti-torsion cable, reinforced solid stainless steel thimbles, aluminium rope clamps and a heat shrink tubing to finish rope loose ends.

Soft stay kit of NS Evo Torque Cable is appropriate for:

  • Top-Down gennaker furlers with a revolving tack ring or an additional lower swivel adapter;
  • any sails with the «soft» luff that is 8-10% longer than the distance from halyard exit to the tack attachment point;
  • Code Zero gennaker furlers;
  • any sails with the luff that may be stretched in line from head to tack if there is no anti-torsion or Dyneema luff tape.

NS Evo Torque Cable soft stay kits fit almost any modern spinnaker furler. The main limitation which must be considered is a thimble thickness, because the thimble is confined by the jaw gap clearance of the drum and the swivel. If you plan to use a soft stay kits not with NS furlers be very coutious about your furler dimentions. For example G25 and G30 furlers unfortunately have a very limited jaw gap clearance – it is possible to use soft stay kits with them, but you will have to use shackles of 6 or 8 mm to connect thimble with the drum or top-down adapter.

Gennaker furlers compatibility with soft stay kits:

  • NS7.5 Evo | NS1.2/TD, NS1.5/TD, G25/TD и G30/TD or any models with a jaw gap clearance from 11/13 mm;
  • NS9.5 Evo | NS1.5/TD, NS2.5/TD, G30/TD or any models with a jaw gap clearance from 14 mm;
  • NS10.5 Evo | NS1.5/TD, NS2.5/TD or any models with a jaw gap clearance from 14 mm;
