Schaefer furling and reefing systems are legendary for their ability to perform under the most adverse conditions. All of our furlers use Torlon bearings in machined races to assure smooth operation. Schaefer furlers are strong, easy to control, smooth, and reliable.

All Schaefer headsail furlers feature aluminum drums and a torque tube to accommodate a turnbuckle in the forestay. Unique to Schaefer furlers is the flushable drum hub: a port on top of the drum allows water from a hose to run through the bearings & bearing race, flushing out any salt or debris & keeping the bearings in good operating condition. This feature makes the furlers easy to clean and increases the expected lifespan of the drum hub.

Schaefer furlers come with a standard link toggle included for joining the headstay & furler drum to the forestay chainplate; if a long link toggle is required for proper anchor clearance, be sure to choose the “No Toggle” option and order the corresponding long link toggle here. (Not sure what this means or which toggle type you need? Call or email & we’ll be happy to help!)
**Schaefer furlers do NOT include a furling line.

The table below contains general recommendations from Schaefer on furler sizing. Ultimately the furling unit you choose must match the pin & wire diameters of your existing headstay.
