The Schaefer
3000 Furler has been on my boat since 1992 and
has seen very close to 50,000 ocean sailing miles
with no (none, nada, zip, zilch, zero) problems.
Not only is it problem free it still looks good.
The 2100 system I recently installed on the inner
forestay promises to be just as good! This is,
in my opinion, the best furling unit on the market
at any price. - Bert Coalson, St. Petersburg FL
"I just wanted to say that I love the Schaefer
Roller Furling on my new boat. The Schaefer makes
genoa reduction easy and makes it easy to sail
alone or with novice sailing friends. At first,
I was a little timid in using it with less than
a full sail. I guess I thought it would be damaged
or something. Having seen it perform so well,
I now constantly fiddle with it for the best trim
I can get. I will definitely look to Schaefer
for my future hardware needs" - Tim Ozmun
Gulfport MS
"After two years, all of our Schaefer
gear is working perfectly, and folks from all over
the world stop by the boat to ask about the boom.
Every time we take the boat out, we are reminded
that the decisions we made about our boom, our
headsail furler, and our traveler were the right
ones. The performance of our Schaefer systems
consistently exceed our expectations, and they
make our old boat perform and look great. "
 "Greetings
from the Southern Ocean. I have to once again
commend you on your excellent furlers. The furlers
have continued to perform perfectly, and in the
extreme cold down here they are indispensable.
Last week I injured my back in a knock down and
I'm gradually on the mend. The furlers allow me
to adjust sails to suit conditions.. a big problem
if I did not have them on board or had less efficient
equipment."
"The Schaefer Furler is beautiful to look
at, it looks right and it's a beautiful piece
of machinery. Never any problems whatsoever. Rolls
great."
"The #1 big sail using the 2100 up front
never needs a winch on a broad reach; you just
don't need to winch it."
"Tell everyone at Schaefer their furlers
work great in a hurricane!"
"My preference is and will remain Schaefer
Furlers only… on my future boats cruising
or racing."
"A beautifully made piece of equipment."
Michael Wilson, Sausalito, CA
"In our 6800 miles averaging 9.3 knots,
we never gave the Schaefer gear a second thought
- which is exactly what is needed far offshore."
Richard B. Wilson, Skipper of "Great American",
Boston, MA
 Only
one brand was given a perfect rating by all who
sailed with it. Schaefer did not have a critic
in the fleet, and comments from owners were all
favorable.
"When I decided to have a boat built for
the next BOC I selected the Schaefer 3000 for
the two head stays. These units have proven to
be the best I have ever seen - overbuilt but extremely
simple." Jean-Pierre Mouligne, 45' BOC Boat
1994. Newport, RI
