FAQ'S
The purpose of the system is to hoist, reef and furl the mainsail without leaving the cockpit, by a single person or small crew. the system will be installed on every type of boat in order to perform the manoeuvre in the best possible way.
The Starfurl system is designed to be installed on both new and existing boats. Since it is a custom system, it can be adapted in the most efficient way both in technical terms and in terms of aesthetics on both large and small boats.
Yes, it is possible to install the system directly from the berth in the marina as long as it can be conveniently reached by a van; for larger boats, the logistical support of a boatyard is advisable.
If there is a rail already installed we will use it to anchor ours onto the existing one, or if this is not possible we will remove it to make room for the new system
Normally the sail is furled via a loop that will work with a winch in the cockpit, if one of the winches is electric you can use it to furl and hoist the mainsail. The Starfurl system can also be supplied with an independent motor located inside the boom that can be used from the most convenient position for manoeuvring. We usually recommend electrifying the system on larger boats.
In the event of a failure of the mechanical parts of the furler, which are in any case made of high quality materials, it is always possible to let go or haul in the mainsail halyard, which remains disconnected from the furling system, allowing the mainsail to be lowered in the traditional way, thus avoiding being left with the mainsail stuck.
The Starfurl system provides reefing hands thanks to the mechanical lock to prevent the mainsail from slipping out.
You can modify the mainsail on board as long as it is a full batten in good condition, usually a sail no more than five years old; it is not possible on catamaran mainsails
