Finest quality materials
FOR THE WORLD'S FINEST QUALITY YACHTS

Leisure furl’s revolutionary system allows mainsail control at any point of hoist, a perfect sail shape achieved by the built-in sail controls. Efficient, reliable and aesthetically pleasing the Leisure furl In-Boom Furling System boasts more than a means of mainsail stowage.

Leisure furl’s many features are a result of an extensive development and testing programme spanning nine years and thousands of ocean mile passages. A proven product, tested by over 600 satisfied customers through some of the world’s toughest oceans and foul weather conditions. Leisure furl is proven by top racing yachts to remain competitive and at no point compromises performance.

Whether a manual system driven from a capstan winch in the cockpit, or the larger Mega Yacht system, operated hydraulically, Leisure furl’s design features ensure mainsail control for both hoist and furling remains trouble free and user friendly

Experience the simple operating techniques and unprecedented performance of Leisure furl, the ultimate In-Boom Furling system.

Only the highest quality materials are used in the construction of Leisure furl booms. Owners and designers can select carbon or alloy booms.

Carbon shells are laminated from the Leisure furl female mould incorporating, aft bulkhead and support bracket. Finished in Awlgrip to match owner's colours.

Alloy shells comprise fabricated extrusion incorporating structural bulkheads, external support bracket and aft bearing spigot for mandrel support. Coating options include anodised or Awlgrip finish to match owner,s colours.
