Description:

In designing the Flexible Furler, we focused on the vast majority of sailors who are primarily cruisers or daysailors. They might race but only casually. These sailors have boats under 40 feet long and want to enjoy sailing from the cockpit rather than going forward while underway. They want the reliability of a solidly built furler/reefing system backed by an unbelievably comprehensive warranty and yet do not want to spend a lot of time and money buying or maintaining their equipment.

The Flexible Furler is used on daysailers as well as offshore passage makers, monohulls and multihulls. It is used by production boat builders and is also great as a retrofit. The flexible luff extrusion makes it the best choice for trailerables.

Whether large or small, your cruising boat or daysailer should have a furling system. Going forward on any size boat is potentially wet and often dangerous, particularly if your crew is inexperienced. Changing sails as the wind comes up is not a lot of fun! The Flexible Furler can be used to both furl and reef your sail in any wind condition.
 
Technical Data:

Simplicity. Often, the simplest product is the best product. The Flexible Furler has one-eighth the number of parts of competitive systems and is the easiest to install, operate and maintain. Plus, the Flexible Furler is backed by an unequaled warranty.

A patented, one-piece, UV stabilized PVC luff extrusion. This luff extrusion is as stiff in torsion as a metal system, and yet can bend without kinking, unlike metal systems. There are no joints to fail and it is designed to be winched.

A built-in halyard, eliminating troublesome halyard swivels and halyard wrap, maximizing reliability whether offshore or close to home.

Reliable Furling. Our durable one-piece urethane furling drum and stainless steel drum cover keeps the furling line in place. You can accidentally drop your anchor onto the Flexible Furler drum and expect it to keep working!

Fail Safe Bearings. Because of the built-in halyard, our rugged bearings see only a fraction of the load carried by other systems. Smaller Flexible Furlers typically use a one-piece solid plastic bearing, though some sailors prefer ball bearings as a convenience option (like having power steering in a small car).
The FF7.0 and 9.0 come with ball bearings standard. We use ½" Torlon balls which roll over dirt easier and need less maintenance than the ¼" balls you find in less rugged systems.

Easy Installation. Designed to be installed over your existing stay, cutting in half the installation time.

Low Maintenance. We recommend that you rinse your bearing with a hose every 5 years (a 5 minute procedure).That's it! And you don't have to drop your sail to rinse the bearing.
