Furling Gear

The boat’s furling gear, supplied by Selden, enables efficient sail handling without compromising on performance. Regular maintenance ensures reliability even under demanding circumstances.

Lumi’s owners have chosen to leave some areas with bare aluminum, such as where welding was done for rigging additions. This practice avoids the potential for corrosion from trapped water and ensures structural integrity.
