LEISURE FURL: in boom furling system

The Leisure Furl is an open end boom designed with a smaller luff ramp profile than the Southern Furl and has the hydraulic drive system positioned at the out-board end. The boom is distinctive in appearance for its defined lines and smooth surfaces. 

 
Benefits of the Leisure Furl:

 
•Open end boom eliminates the need for a front bulkhead, providing the following advantages: 
-mainsail is free to roll onto the furling mandrel without obstruction 
-no chance of luff tape damage  against a bulkhead
-furling position is not as sensitive to the boom angle as with other systems
-furling operations can be carried out in full view of the crew 
•The small luff ramp profile reduces windage and means less luff curve is required in the mainsail 
•A flexi feeder which leads the luff tape into the luff ramp 
•Hydraulic drive system is located at the out board end for easy access. 
•Leisure Furl can be retrofitted to increase sail area, upgrade sail handling systems and improve weight distribution
