Furling and Reefing System for Cruisers and Daysailors
 The CDI 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 CDI Flexible Furler can be used to both furl and reef your sail in any wind condition.
CDI Flexible Furler has eliminated expensive features only hard-core
racers demand, thereby increasing the system's reliability while lowering the cost. As proof of the success of this design, Practical
Sailor reports 100% of Flexible Furler owners surveyed would buy their Flexible Furler again if they had the choice.
CDI Ball Bearing Option. Ball Bearings are not required for the FF1 through the FF6. However,
if you expect consistently heavy loading or want the easiest possible furling, the ball bearing is a good option and may be purchased
with the system or as a retrofit. (The FF7.0 and 9.0 always come with ball bearings.)
Installation Notes: In order to properly size a Flexible Furler, you must know both the wire and turnbuckle size.
Flexible Furlers are designed to install over 1X19 cable laid wire.
They will not install over rod rigging or inside out Navtec turnbuckles. The headstay should have a swage-on stud and an open body turnbuckle
at the bottom end of the headstay assembly. Sta-Loc or similar swageless
fittings can be used at the upper end of the headstay assembly but can not be used at the bottom end as the fitting will not install
inside the furling drum properly. |
