Plus, the Flexible Furler is backed by an unequaled warranty.Ī patented, one-piece, UV stabilized PVC luff extrusion. The Flexible Furler has one-eighth the number of parts of competitive systems and is the easiest to install, operate and maintain. Often, the simplest product is the best product. Dimensons H is also necessary to provide clearance between the mast and the halyard top fitting. Dimensons H is intended to provide adequate clearance to allow headstay adjustments without the furler binding at the top. The length required may be greater to provide adequate clearance for a Spinnaker halyard, or may be slightly shorter to accommodate a full hoist sail. Dimensions shown assume Merriman (now MacWhyte) turnbuckle.ĭimension H is approximate. No maintenance is required to keep the warranty in force.Dimensons A-E depend on the length of the toggle at the bottom of the turnbuckle. This warranty remains in force for charter and other commercial operations. If, during this period, any part becomes non-functional, CDI will repair or replace it, free of charge, except for freight. You must be the original purchaser of the unit. The Flexible Furler is warranteed to remain functional for 7 years from date of purchase.

We are very pleased with these survey results since CDI was the only major furler manufacturer to receive that level of owner endorsement. 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. We have eliminated expensive features only hard-core racers demand, thereby increasing the system's reliability while lowering the cost. Changing sails as the wind comes up is not a lot of fun! The Flexible Furler can be used to both furl and reef your sail in any wind condition. Going forward on any size boat is potentially wet and often dangerous, particularly if your crew is inexperienced. Whether large or small, your cruising boat or daysailer should have a furling system. The flexible luff extrusion make it the best choice for trailerables.

It is used by production boat builders and is also great as a retrofit.

The Flexible Furler is used on daysailers as well as offshore passage makers, monohulls and multihulls. They want the reliability of a solidly built furler/reefing system backed by an unbelievably comprehensive warranty and yet do not want to spend a lot of time and money buying or maintaining their equipment. These sailors have boats under 40 feet long and want to enjoy sailing from the cockpit rather than going forward while underway. In designing the Flexible Furler, CDI focused on the vast majority of sailors who are primarily cruisers or daysailors.
