Safety - No Risk of Overriding
The webbing is guided evenly and smoothly onto the drum. This eliminates overrides as the webbing lays flat inside the drum.

Very high quality gear and easy DIY installation
It took 4 hours to install it without unmasting and/or need to climb up. I cannot see lot of plastic parts but for the top halyard deflector. Looks as robust as it gets. Very low profile I loose only 7 inches on the luff and I was able to shorten my sail just by moving down the head few inches. US and France support to answer questions has been prompt. No cuts needed to fit right size. Swaged terminal slips through all pieces nicely. Telescopic bottom section is a real "a... saver". Suggest to first attach link plates to toggle pin and correctly tension the forestay before lowering the drum and tighten the telescopic section to right lenght and screw the plates back into their drum slots as the last thing (Facnor manual suggests the other way around but then you cannot easily reach inside the drum to turn the turnbuckle).
