We here at Mylor Chandlery & Rigging are proud to announce our new formed relationship with Leisure Furl/VMG Technology. We are now the Southwest Service Agents!

We are your point of contact for new enquiries and any Leisure Furl boom furling servicing in the Southwest region. Alternatively, you may be looking to upgrade your yacht to in-boom furling, we would be more than happy to estimate and complete these works for you.

We are great advocates of Leisure Furl and In-boom furling particularly for shorthanded sailing. There are numerous advantages for your mainsail handling. Here are just a few for you to consider:

  • Reduced weight aloft in comparison to In-mast furling counterparts. Your heeling moment is significantly reduced leading to a more performance and comfortable experience.
  • Fully battened Mainsail – a far superior sail shape compared to in-mast furling.
  • Easy Mainsail handling and reefing.
  • Suitable for both Monohulls & Catamarans.
  • Significantly easier to service and maintain.
  • What happens if your mainsail gets stuck whilst furling an in-mast furling system? It happens? In boom furling offers a massive safety improvement compared to in-mast furling
  • Furling can take place downwind as well as upwind (with due consideration of the conditions)
  • With over 5,000 installations worldwide Leisure Furl is the pre-eminent in-boom furling system.
  • Global network for Leisure Furl dealers and service agents.

Engineered specifically for your boat, Leisure Furl® offers eight different models and a multi-factor design program that assures your system will be exactly right for your boat. Available in anodised aluminium or carbon fibre and each boom can be customized with a variety of finishes and power systems. These factors combine to help make Leisure Furl® the worldwide leader of in-boom mainsail reefing and furling systems.

The technological advancement in building materials and design has led to an increase in yachts designed for comfort and ease of handling, yet without compromising performance, in fact, in many cases, allowing boats to become quicker.  These yachts are longer, carry more mainsail area, with taller rigs, and introduce the associated frustrations of mainsail control.

There are well over 5000 Leisure Furl Booms on Monohulls & Catamarans sailing worldwide. Here are a few testimonials from happy sailors, follow the link - LeisureFurl®

We look forward to hearing from you all with your Leisure Furl queries and enquiries.

Roll on 2023 sailing season!
