Sail with confidence: Adapt to every change with Made Furling Systems
Sailors know that nothing changes as quickly—or as unpredictably—as the wind. That’s why Made Furling Systems are designed to help you adapt effortlessly to any condition. Our mainsail furling systems make reefing safe, simple, and efficient, no matter the circumstances.
The Made Type C Furling Boom is the perfect blend of elegance, affordability, and performance. It delivers exceptional functionality without compromising on quality.
Why choose the Made Type C Furling Boom?
- Premium construction: Crafted from high-quality extruded aluminum and precision CNC-milled components, the boom is expertly welded for maximum strength and minimal weight.
- Durable finish: Available in a sleek painted or natural anodized finish, ensuring long-lasting protection and a polished look.
- Integrated sail protection: When the sail is furled, a built-in fabric cover shields it from sun, rain, and debris, keeping it in peak condition.
- Extra features: An additional groove track runs the full length of the boom, allowing for easy installation of a sunshade.
Easy operation, manual or electric
The Type C furling boom is typically operated manually via an endless line drive, using your existing winch—whether manual or electric. For ultimate convenience, you can upgrade to an integrated electric drive system. Fully plug-and-play, it includes everything you need for hassle-free mainsail furling from day one.

Boom vang
Ideally a furling boom has a boom vang. It has several functions but the main function is to control your furling boom during heavy seas while furling. The boom vang dampens the movement of your boom and therefore keeps the boom in the correct position reletaive to the sail battens.
Another important function of the vang is setting the correct boom angle. The boom angle should be 87 degrees relatively to the mast and this is critical. Although this postion can also be achieved by adjusting the topping lift, it is far more convenient to use a vang.
While there are many boom vangs or rod kickers on the market, there are only a few that can cope with the higher loads of a furling boom. Because, let’s face it, furling booms are slightly heavier than normal booms. So, where most vangs have a maximum spring load of 500kg our vang spring load starts at 650kg.
