Flexible Furlers are designed to install over 1×19 cable laid wire. In order to properly size a Flexible Furler, you must know both the wire and turnbuckle size. (The FF7.0 and 9.0 always come with ball bearings.) 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. Systemīall Bearings are not required for the FF1 through the FF6. Use the table below to determine which system is right for your boat. Which Flexible Furler is right for your boat? You will need to measure the pin-to-pin length of the forestay, the diameter of the wire, and the diameter of the turnbuckle pin.

We are very pleased with these survey results since CDI was the only major furler manufacturer to receive that level of owner endorsement.įor a full review and unboxing of CDI Furlers please click here 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. 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.ĬDI has eliminated expensive features only hard-core racers demand, thereby increasing the system’s reliability while lowering the cost. 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 makes it the best choice for trailerables.
It is used by production boat builders and is also great as a retrofit. The CDI 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 daysailers.
