Mainfurl is a Danish manufacturer specializing in the design and production of innovative furling booms for sailboats ranging from 35 to 90 feet. Following the principles of Scandinavian design — simplicity, elegance, and durability — the company develops state-of-the-art systems that enhance both the safety and enjoyment of shorthanded sailing.

The company utilizes a V-shaped, slimline construction for its booms, with bodies manufactured from high-quality fiberglass or carbon fiber. These lightweight materials are engineered to manage significant loads while maintaining a timeless aesthetic. To ensure the highest manufacturing standards, the company collaborates with long-term partners experienced in creating high-durability composite products, such as wind turbine components, capable of withstanding harsh marine environments.

  • Integrated Furling Systems: Booms are available in both manual versions, utilizing an endless reefing line, and electric versions equipped with a Reckmann BFE motor built directly into the mandrel.
  • Cockpit-Controlled Handling: The systems are designed for full operation from the cockpit, allowing the crew to reef or furl the mainsail via pushbuttons or manual lines without leaving the safety of the helm area.
  • Precision Reefing: The design allows for easy reefing to any batten, ensuring the sail remains secure and correctly tensioned right under the mandrel even as the wind increases.
  • Versatile Installation: Each boom is engineered as a “plug ‘n’ play” solution, designed to be compatible with existing mast fittings. This makes the systems suitable for both new builds and the refit of older yachts.
  • Customizable Finishes: Beyond the choice of composite materials, the fittings and finishes can be tailored to match the specific technical and aesthetic requirements of the yacht.

By focusing on refined engineering and ease of use, Mainfurl provides a reliable solution for managing large mainsails with minimal crew, prioritizing a safe and efficient sailing experience.
