Furling Mainsails

In-mast Furling Mainsails

Here the sail is furled inside the mast. In-mast furling mainsails have come a long way since their initial introduction, with advanced systems and modern sail-design closing the performance gap to classic mainsails, also making the systems more reliable and safer. Today, this is the most common furling system, especially on medium-sized production yachts. Again, this is for safe handling, reefing, and easy self-stowing of the mainsail and ideal for family cruising sailors.

In-boom Furling Mainsails

The sail is furled inside the boom, which usually is of a large diameter. Safe handling, reefing and stowing of the sail from the safety of the cockpit. An in-boom furling sail can have more roach than an in-mast furling sail. Should the system jam or break down, the in-boom furling main can always be lowered, just like a traditional mainsail. However, these systems are more common on larger yachts.

Easy single handed operation in all conditions
Regarding the mainsail we are very happy with the furling main type and would never switch. The main advantage is single handed operation in all conditions, safe handling from the cockpit and very easy reefing compared to traditional batten sail. The form of our main is holding up well considering the 14.000 nautical miles we sailed with it so far. https://www.youtube.com/@WhenSailing
