Furling systems

(8 products)

Furling systems are indispensable tools for sailors, allowing them to flexibly adjust the sail area to wind and weather conditions. They facilitate the furling and unfurling of sails, increasing both safety and comfort on board. In the awn online shop, you'll find a wide selection of high-quality furling systems and accessories.

  • What are furling systems?

    Roller furling systems differ from furling systems in that they allow for a continuous increase or decrease in sail area. While roller furling systems only provide the full sail area or none at all, roller furling systems work with a furling stay, furler, and halyard swivel, which also allow operation from the cockpit. This flexibility makes them particularly practical and safe for everyday sailing.

  • Furling systems for headsails

    Using a furling system on an existing sail usually requires some adjustment to the sail, for example, by sewing on a new luff band. This is especially worthwhile for sails in good condition. Furling systems and furlers are important pieces of equipment that make sailing more comfortable and allow for optimal adjustment of the sail area.

  • Manufacturers and operating methods of furling systems

    Well-known brands such as Furlex, Harken, Top-Reff, Bartels, and ProFurl offer furling systems in various designs. These are available in manual, electric, or hydraulic versions. For smaller sailboats, manual systems are often the most cost-effective and lightweight option.
