Good furling system but difficult install April 27, 2022
from Canada
This furler was the perfect fit for my boat however I have to knock some points off because it is a real pain to install.

The two halves of the foil come rolled up in the box and they are both rolled the same direction. This means when you flip one around to snap them together they will be fighting each other. This works in your favour when the furler is complete as it makes the foil quite rigid however it makes installing it quite the process. According to the manual this furler can be installed with the mast up but I would not recommend doing this.

Luckily I have access to a large heated garage and was able to lay out both halves of the foil and clamp them down and leave them for several days to lose some of their memory of being coiled up. This helped a lot but they still wanted to roll up a little and it still made it challenging to snap them together. Your best bet is to string up the forestay horizontally somewhere under some tension and assemble the furler on it that way.

Another note mine was damaged during assembly at the factory and shipped like that. Schaefer sent the parts to fix it no questions asked so bonus points for them for standing behind their product.

Overall it's a good furling system but be prepared for some frustration during the installation. Would definitely recommend recruiting a friend to help you if you can.
