Standard Toggles/Links
Using a combination of smooth-rolling Torlon® bearings and a round headstay extrusion centered on the headstay, Schaefer has reduced the effort necessary to roll up a genoa relative to competitive furlers.
Features include:
- Anodized aluminum and polished stainless steel provide strength, durability
- Round extrusions with dual sail grooves allow easy furling*
- Large drum dia. increases mechanical advantage making furling easier
- Open cage design for easy inspection and maintenance
- Polyethylene bearing liners stop corrosion and promote smooth furling
- Captive Fasteners ensure that no parts will be lost overboard
* Not on System 750
A complete system consists of a furler drum and tube package and a matching toggle and link, either standard or long (sold separately). Use Norseman or Sta-Lok fittings for easy installation over your existing standard wire headstay and turnbuckle. Systems without mechanical fittings are designed for rod or pre-swaged wire headstays; we recommend assembly by a professional rigger. Larger sizes (like the 4100) are available through Special Order.
