Schaefer 3100 Rigid Furling System

SCHAEFER MARINE 3100 

Furling Systems without Sta-Lok™ or Toggle Fittings

For Rod or Pre-Swaged Wire Headstays

For Racing and Performance Cruising Sailors

Schaefer Roller Furling/Reefing allows you to set, furl and reef your genoa from the safety and convenience of your cockpit. You no longer need to scramble forward to hank on your luff or tame the flailing genoa dropped on the foredeck. It's a one-person job to handle even your big 150% genoa!

Bearing Design: Open For Life
Schaefer's Torlon™ bearings cannot corrode and ride in open, easily accessible races that don't require lubrication. These proven, high-compression-strength bearings provide low friction and need only periodic flushing with water.

Headstay Adjustment: No Compromises
Schaefer Systems utilize your existing headstay and turnbuckle for reduced cost, full turnbuckle adjustability, and optimum performance. Their heavy-duty base toggle/link articulates to absorb side loads that might otherwise cause turnbuckle fatigue. Your turnbuckle is attached to the base toggle/link and is housed by the system, easily accessible.

Drum Design: Powerful, Open, Metal
Powerful, large-diameter drums provide you with the mechanical advantage you need for high sailing loads. Standard split drum plates allow for easy conversion to a full-length headsail. Attractive, stainless cages are open to give easy access to the furling line.

System 3100: Boats 41'-55'
The large diameter drum in System 3100 increases the power to reef large headsails in heavy winds. Low-friction bearing inserts eliminate metal-to-metal headstay contact for less noise and easier turning. Stainless heli-coil inserts ensure that you'll be able to take the furler apart, even in salt water.

Note: These systems come without Sta-Lok™ (upper eye) or Schaefer (lower) Toggle/Link fittings and are designed for rod or pre-swaged wire headstays that are typically assembled by a professional rigger. Toggle/Link fittings must be Schaefer and are sold separately in both standard and long lengths. The latter are used to raise the bottom drum assembly off the deck.
