Reefing & Furling System
Furlboom Series

Proprietary In-Boom Mainsail Reefing System From Hood Yacht Systems


Performance that has stood the test of time
The Furlboom Series

Hood Yacht Systems introduces the Furlboom In-boom mainsail furler. Hoist and Douse your mainsail in seconds from the safety of the cockpit! Safe, fast, and convenient. Better performance than in-mast systems. Comparable performance to conventional sails. Available for yachts from 30′ to 60′. Over 300 Systems installed worldwide.

Furlboom makes sailing easier and safer. Dependable in all weather and sea conditions, the sail can be hoisted, reefed and furled by one person from the safety of the cockpit. Reefing is easy. In contrast to slab reefing, the Furlboom system flattens the sail as it is reefed, further depowering the sail. Stow and cover the mainsail in less than a minute; reef the sail in seconds. Furlboom’s advanced user-friendly design makes handling the mainsail a breeze. Add an electric winch and you have push-button furling and reefing.
