It eliminates the need for outhaul cars, reefing control lines, rope clutches, mast turning blocks and deck organizers. The batten ends are well supported, making bat car systems and lazy jacks redundant. Without the reefing cringles and reinforcing patches, the mainsail becomes less expensive and longer lasting. The Leisure furl system out performs the alternative both in terms of features and convenience, and this proven product attracts serious consideration by the discerning yacht person. Open front section of boom allows sail to move forward as well as back, giving considerable tolerance to sail design and general operation, one of the keys to the success of Leisure furl.
Oil impregnated bearings eliminate the possibility of bearing failure or seizure under severe loads.
Manual override with locking ratchet allows the system to be operated in the event of equipment failure, or should damage to deck gear or furling line prevent cockpit operation. Installation is completed without the need to un-step the rig. Suitable for all sizes of vessel. Full length battens giving shape and power to even an old sail. Full roach in most cases, as opposed to the hollow cut leaches of In Mast Systems.
