Maintaining your Furlex Furling System
The Furlex is virtually a maintenance-free piece of kit. You set your sail after launching and then just keep on furling and reefing throughout the season. When the season is over you simply rinse the various parts with fresh water, wait for them to dry and then grease the halyard swivel and lower bearing assemblies
Furling Masts
A Seldén furling mast lets you operate your mainsail from the cockpit. It also makes sailing safer and far easier for you and your crew. With a powered furling mast and a powered Furlex jib furler it is even easier to set, reef and handle your sails. You can work your sails single handed, without leaving the helm.
