Schaefer Marine System / Package
Boom Furlers
In-boom mainsail furling and reefing system with a patented articulating sail track, allowing one-person reefing on any point of sail from the cockpit.
Description
Schaefer's Boom Furling System uses a patented Articulating Sail Track and feeder to transfer full-battened mainsails onto a mandrel inside the boom without snags, with the battens aligned. Reefing can be done by one person on any point of sail without heading up or leaving the cockpit. The furling drum sits at the aft end of the boom, so no holes are needed through the mast.
Key features
- Patented Articulating Sail Track and feeder
- Oversized Torlon bearings in angular contact races absorb compression loads
