 Simplicity.
Often, the simplest product is the best product. The CDI 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 CDI 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 CDI Flexible Furler FF7.0 and FF9.0 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.
