The Flexible Furler - a very durable system for boats that are trailered. And it does not cost a fortune to buy, install or maintain. A durable one-piece furling drum keeps the furling line in place.Īnd, the price is right! Although the Flexible Furler is not designed to accommodate racing headsail changes, it is designed to meet the needs of the majority of boat owners. The tack fitting is a simple lashing that won't fall overboard (unlike a pin or shackle). It also eliminates halyard wraps and those troublesome halyard swivels. This halyard eliminates the halyard loads from the bearings making reefing easier. The CDI furler also features an internal halyard which makes it possible to raise and lower sails while underway. There are no joints to bend or break as with non-flexing metal extrusions which must be made in sections for shipment purposes. The one piece, PVC single groove luff extrusion is stiff in torsion for better reefing and furling but flexible in other directions for easy handling when raising and lowering the mast - a great choice for trailerables and other boats where the mast is frequently raised and lowered. From your cockpit in a matter of minutes you can furl or reef your jib, genoa or staysail with ease-a great boon for small boat owners since the foredeck can be a dangerous place to work. The Cruising Design (CDI) FF6 furler provides one of the most inexpensive, effective ways to get more use from your boat while increasing safety.
