Schaefer Rigid Furlers |
|
 |
From years of research, Schaefer developed a combination of features that rival any furler, at any price. That's because they've designed in, and improved, all the useful features of the world's best rated furlers, and eliminated the ideas that just didn't make sense. The result is a furler that's not only strong, but easy to control, smooth and reliable. A proven design with thousands of miles of blue-water cruising - including the grueling Around Alone Race.
Schaefer's Torlon™ bearings cannot corrode and ride in open, easily accessible races that don't require lubrication. These proven, high compression strength bearings provide low friction, and need only periodic flushing with water. Schaefer Systems utilize your existing headstay and turnbuckle for reduced cost, full turnbuckle adjustability, and optimum performance. Our heavy-duty base toggle/link articulates to absorb side loads that might otherwise cause turnbuckle fatigue. Your turnbuckle is attached to the base toggle/link and is housed by the system, easily accessible. Our powerful, large diameter drum provides you with the mechanical advantage you need for high sailing loads. Standard split drum plates allow for easy conversion to a full length headsail. Schaefer's CNC machined metal construction resists ultraviolet rays and abuse from anchor chains and poles mounted near the stemhead fitting. |
