Schaefer Jib Furling - Rigid Systems
Development of a World-Class Furler
Schaefer Roller Furling/Reefing allows you to set, furl and reef your genoa from the safety and convenience of the cockpit. You no longer need to scramble forward to hank on your luff or "tame the beast" of a flailing genoa dropped on the foredeck. Best of all, it's a one person job to handle even your big 150% genoa.
All Schaefer Systems are designed to be the strongest, best performing furling systems you can install on your boat. Combined with one "wide range" reefing sail, Schaefer Roller Furling/Reefing Systems can do the work of three or four conventional sails. Sailmakers can modify your existing sail or build a single sail that can perform well in winds from 0 to 35 knots.
Bearing Design: Open For Life
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.
Headstay Adjustment: No Compromises
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.
Drum Design: Powerful, Open, Metal
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.*
Attractive, stainless cage is open to give easy access to the furling line.
Schaefer's CNC machined metal construction resists ultraviolet rays and abuse from anchor chains and poles mounted near the stemhead fitting.
