Why
buy the CDI Spinnaker Furler? |
The
NEW SPINNAKER FURLER now being
offered by CDI finally delivers to the sailboat owner a reasonably priced system
for handling a Cruising Spinnaker from the cockpit. |
|
Can
I use my existing spinnaker? |
The
CDI SPINNAKER FURLER is designed for use with most existing Asymmetrical
Spinnakers, Cruising Spinnakers, and Gennakers. |
|
Innovative |
The
new CDI Spinnaker Furler is so innovative that it has been granted a U.S.
Patent for the design. |
|
Luff
attachment |
A
luff rope is attached between the spool and the top swivel. The spinnaker is
wrapped around the luff rope much as a normal jib is furled around a rigid
extrusion. |
|
Storage |
The
rope luff allows the sail to be lowered when not in use, packed into a normal
sail bag, and stored below deck until wanted again. The SPINNAKER FURLER can
also be stored in place on the bow of the boat if covered with a protective
sock, ready to be unfurled at a moments notice. |
|
Halyard |
The
new SPINNAKER FURLER is raised with the existing ship’s spinnaker halyard. |
|
Mounting |
The
SPINNAKER FURLER spool can be mounted on the bow rail on small sailboats
(usually under 30 ft), on a bow sprit or on an anchor roller on larger boats. |
|
Raising
the Spinnaker |
The
new SPINNAKER FURLER, once raised by the spinnaker halyard, can be deployed
or furled from the safety of the cockpit. A sailor single-handing, or sailing
with a small or inexperienced crew can finally use an Asymmetric Spinnaker
safely. There is no need to go up onto the bow of the boat to furl the
spinnaker. |
|
Pricing |
The new SPINNAKER FURLER by CDI suggested list price is $1018. (effective Jan. 1, 2009) |
* Note: Measure the required
luff rope and furling line length VERY carefully. There will be an
additional charge of $80 to shorten the rope if it is too long.
If the rope is too short,
there may be a significant charge to provide a longer rope for the luff or
the furling line.
