Reefing System
Holman Rigging offers comprehensive reefing systems for sailing vessels of all sizes. Whether you need headsail reefing, in-boom systems, in-mast solutions, or single-line setups, our expert team can help optimize your sailing experience.
Headsail Reefing Systems
There are very few sailing boats now that have no headsail reefing or furling system, and like most working gear they sometimes need spares, repairs or just plain servicing. We can offer a comprehensive service to suit your needs.
Single Line Reefing
Are you tired of having to go to the Mast to reef? With safety and ease of operation in the forefront of our agenda, we have installed Continuous Single Line Reefing on many boats in the last few years with fantastic results.
Having made the reefing operation easier, simpler and quicker there is no mental or physical barrier to taking in, or shaking out a reef. Thus you are safe and assured that you will always have a suitable area of sail set and will not get caught out by that sudden vicious squall.
Many boats already have most of the gear to make this work – things just require a bit of reorganisation.
Give us a call – we will assess what you have and what is required.
In-Boom Reefing Systems
In-Boom Reefing is becoming more common place, hoisting or reefing is a simple and safe operation. The In-boom furler requires the use of 1 halliard and one furling line. It allows full control of the mainsail from the security of the cockpit.
The fully battened sail optimises the yachts performance giving a well shaped sail at all times. This system can also be fitted retrospectively to all aluminium masts with internal luff tracks.
Holman Rigging are recommended by the suppliers of both Profurl and Schaeffer units as installation specialists. We are very experienced in installing these systems and have had great success in fitting these to yachts both in the UK and abroad.
- Easy Operation - Control your mainsail from the security of the cockpit with simple, intuitive controls.
- Optimized Performance - Fully battened sail systems provide better sail shape and improved performance in all conditions.
- Retrofit Compatible - Can be fitted to existing masts with internal luff tracks, making it an excellent upgrade option.
In-Mast Reefing Systems
Many yachts use this style of mainsail furling system. Some perform well, but others require a considerable degree of tweaking to work from the cockpit as intended. There are a fair number of possible problems which can make it extremely difficult for the system to perform satisfactorily.
Let us inspect your system, service it and set it up, so that it works to it’s full potential.
