Snapfurl Systems
SnapFurl systems come in two sizes to accommodate boats 16′ to 24′ and boats 24′ to 28′
SnapFurl represents the latest in quality Schaefer design and engineering. Intended for daysailors and small cruising boats to approximately 28 feet, SnapFurl is simple to install and offers many of the features employed in our larger head-sail furling systems, including open Torlon™ ball bearing races for smooth, effortless operation.The efficient round foil snaps quickly and easily around your boat’s existing headstay without the need for special tools or modifications to the rig. SnapFurl makes it easy to be sailing in no time.
