HEADSAIL FURLER

return to  About Sailing

A furler system can be used to both furl and reef your sail in any wind condition.

The Flexible Furler, was designed for the vast majority of sailors who are primarily cruisers or daysailors. They might race but only casually. The furler will allow the crew to enjoy sailing from the cockpit rather than going forward while underway.  Going forward on any size boat is potentially wet and often dangerous and changing sails as the wind comes up can be less than fun!

The Flexible Furler 2 by CDI, which is available as a factory option is recommended for the MacGregor 26M. The flexible luff extrusion makes it the best choice for trailerables, and a genoa on the furler will accomodate many wind conditions.

CDI Flexible Furler 2 for the MacGregor 26M features:

• One quarter the number of parts of other systems
• Easy to install, operate and maintain
• One-piece luff extrusion has no joints to bend or break
• Built-in halyard eliminate troublesome halyard swivels and halyard wrap to maximize reliability
• One-piece furling drums made from durable urethane plastic with stainless steel drum covers keep furling line in place
• Rugged bearings see only a fraction of the load on other systems that lack built-in halyards
• Installs over your existing stay
• Minimal maintenance
