The Cruising Design (CDI) FF7 furler provides one of the most cost-effective ways to increase ease of sail handling and safety. From your cockpit you can unfurl, furl or reef your headsail with ease. The ball bearing assembly uses 1/2" bearings which reduce friction when furling your sail and are capable of rolling over any dirt or sand.

The patented one-piece UV stabilized anti-torsion, PVC extrusion provides incredible strength for furling and reefing. The flexibility and durability make raising and lowering the mast easy without the risk of damaging the furler. There are no joints to bend or break as with aluminum extrusions, which can easily be damaged when raising or lowering the mast.

The CDI furler also features its own internal halyard, which eliminates halyard wraps and those troublesome halyard swivels. The tack fitting is a simple lashing that won't fall overboard (unlike a pin or shackle). A durable one-piece furling drum keeps the furling line in place.

And, the price is right! The Flexible Furler is not designed for frequent headsail changes. It is designed simply to work with minimal, if any, maintenance, making it easier to get out and go sailing. You can install the furler yourself with the easy-to-follow instructions that come with the furler.

The Flexible Furler is a very durable system for any boat and excels for boat owners who frequently step their mast — forestay comes down with extrusion in place!

CDI Flexible Furlers are too large to be shipped by the post office. The furlers arrive coiled, open with caution. Do not leave furlers coiled for more than two weeks after receiving the shipment. Uncoil and let relax in the sun for 24 hours before installation.

Please Note: CDI Furlers are nonreturnable. This is a drop-shipped item; expected delivery is 1-2 weeks.
