Flexible Furler Overview

Your sailboat deserves a reliable furling system that makes your sailing experience safer and more enjoyable for many years to come.

  • The Flexible Furler is designed to fit over your existing forestay and can be used to both reef and furl your sail in any wind condition.

  • We simplified the design and increased it’s reliability over the years.

  • A #6 luff tape in the luff of your sail is usually all that’s required to use one of our systems.

  • Send any inquiries related to your specific boat and rigging to CDI or your local CDI dealer before purchasing one of our systems.

  • Full system purchases are available through dealers only, not direct.

What Makes it Different?

  • Our patented one-piece, UV stabilized PVC luff extrusion is stiff for better reefing and furling but flexible enough for trailering.

  • Furling hardware made from durable urethane plastic.

  • A built-in halyard maximizes reliability and eliminates halyard wrap.

  • Our bearing assembly uses 1/2” ball-bearings which reduce friction when furling your sail and are capable of rolling over any dirt or sand.

  • Zero maintenance, just rinse with fresh water 1-2 timers per season.

  • NEW 10-YEAR WARRANTY ON NEW SYSTEM PURCHASES.
