Roller Furlers
The Sail Loft recommends and carries only two
lines of Furlers; Harken and Pro Furl. The reason
is simple; Quality. Both are exceptionally designed
and provide the highest levels of trouble free
service. We could sell other cheaper furler units,
but we wouldn't sell you something we
wouldn't put on our own boat!
For
boats up to 30 feet in length, we recommend the
Harken MKIII Unit 0. Its head and tack swivel
rotate independently on superior torlon ball
bearings. This allows the center of the luff to furl
before the head and tack helping to maintain proper
sail shape. The lightweight aerodynamic foil maintain
proper air flow and can handle demanding loads.
For larger boats in
excess of 30 feet, we recommend one of the Profurl
units. Considered by many to be the best, the
high strength to weight ratio of Profurl extrusions
are built to take it. The foil shape has been
technically designed for optimum performance on
either tack, and the drum is constructed of an
unbreakable, unscratchable, UV resistant, high impact
plastic. Plus, the Profurl can be furled using a
winch during high loads (a practice that voids
warrants on other furlers). These features alone have
set Profurl apart as being the furler of choice.
To round out our comprehensive selection of
furlers we carry the Schaefer Furler Systems.They
are strong, good looking, high performance furling
systems designed to give you years of worry free
service. Combine a Schafer Furling System with a Sail
Loft "wide range" reefing sail, and your
roller furling/reefing system will do the work of
three or four conventional sails. The loft can modify
your existing sail or build a single sail that can
perform well in a wide range of wind conditions.
