As an in-boom furling system contains moving parts, certain components will naturally be subject to wear over time. In accordance with good seamanship practices, regular inspection of the boom, standing and running rigging, and associated deck hardware is recommended. Accordingly, MAINFURL recommends regular inspection and timely replacement of the attachment loops and soft shackles fitted to our furling booms, as these components are exposed to substantial operational loads and should be considered wear items requiring periodic replacement.
As an additional precaution, we recommend fitting a soft shackle through the boom's drain hole and around the attachment loops. In the unlikely event of a loop failure, this simple measure provides secondary retention and helps maintain control of the boom until the situation can be addressed.
By following these recommendations, you can further enhance onboard safety and enjoy your time on the water with added peace of mind.

The exit of the endless furling line on the manual MAINFURL is placed at the inboard end, in the middle underneath the boom, enabling it to be led to any of the stand-up blocks at the cabin roof and further to the cockpit. This feature also gives the possibility to remove the boom from the yacht without cutting the reefing line. It also means that the furling line has a firm grip on the furling drive inside the boom, which means less wear on the line.

The MAINFURL vang is an option and made to fit any yacht up to approximately 50’, with a maximum return force of 7500 Newton. We also make the MAINFURL boom to fit a hydraulic vang of any brand.
The number of main sheet attachments and position are made to fit all demands. The attachments are spectra loops.
The mandrel is raised at the outboard end of the boom. This way the boom shell will be lower when the mandrel is in furling position.
