Schaefer Marine System / Package
Rigid Jib Furling Systems
Jib furling and reefing systems for 20' to 90' boats with open Torlon bearing races, split drums and use of the existing headstay and turnbuckle.
Description
Schaefer rigid jib furlers use Torlon bearings that cannot corrode, riding in open, accessible races that need no lubrication, only periodic flushing. The systems use the boat's existing headstay and turnbuckle, housed in an articulating heavy-duty base toggle/link that absorbs side loads. The design has been proven in blue-water cruising, including the Around Alone Race.
