In designing the Flexible Furler, CDI focused on the vast majority of sailors who are primarily cruisers or daysailors. They might race but only casually. These sailors have boats under 36 feet long and want to enjoy sailing from the cockpit rather than going forward while underway. They want the reliability of a solidly built furler/reefing system backed by an unbelievable “lifetime” warranty and yet do not want to spend a lot of time and money buying or maintaining their equipment. By focusing on this group, they found themselves building furlers for most all sailors. For that reason, they are among the largest manufacturers of furlers in North America.
Please note that while FF1, FF2, FF4 and FF6 systems can be packaged for UPS delivery, this results in a tightly coiled extrusion that must be straightened, and can be more difficult to install. Packaging and delivering by Air Freight in a 6' coil reduces the amount of straightening, and is available for an additional charge. Air freight is required for FF7 and FF9 systems. |
