Foresail furling and reefing systems (with forestay foil)

Furling and reefing sails
Our key competence is furling and reefing sails. As with all of our products, safety is our top priority. All of the BARTELS team knows how important it is to be able to trust your supplier and equipment when out on the water. If you insist on having stylish fittings on board, simply take a closer look at our products and see for yourself how attractive they are!

More heavy-duty, slimmer, higher quality
In a nutshell, original BARTELS products are more heavy-duty, slimmer, and higher quality. This holds true for our furling and reefing systems, as well as our traditional reefing systems with drum furlers and our endless line reefing systems.

Endless line reefing systems – more buffer, no knots
We are the only providers of endless line reefing systems  bringing you increased comfort and safety on board. Our unique quality standards ensure that you enjoy all the benefits of our endless line reefing systems. And we are also proud to add that we are the ONLY manufacturers of marine equipment to offer such solutions.

Our endless line reefing system – benefits at a glance:

  • significantly increases leverage (compared to drum furling systems), making it easier to operate.
  • Accommodates a thicker rope (no drum capacity restrictions) for improved ease and safety.
  • The foot of the foresail can be as long as you want, leaving you free to choose which sail to fly.
  • No dangerous knotting in the drum.
  • Tack of the sail attached to the flat foresail furler lower down.
  • Compact dimensions of the endless line foresail furler

All systems can be mounted above or below deck
Traditional sailing boats are renowned for their elegance - both at sea and in port. This is why the BARTELS team focuses on much more than just the irreproachable performance of our nautical equipment in tough conditions. This is simply a prerequisite for all of our products. All of our systems can be mounted above or below deck. You can enjoy the full benefits of our system without compromising on the classic charm of your yacht - both at sea and in port!

Reefing foresails and genoas - electrically and hydraulically
Electric reefing: So that you can enjoy a stress-free sail, we also provide electronically and hydraulically powered reefing for larger systems. Please contact us for further details about our electric reefing systems for traditional yachts.
