The heavy-duty Reefit furler for larger yachts and serious offshore use.
The Reefit Maatsuyker 220 is our flagship ocean-cruising system, named after the wild, storm-lashed Maatsuyker Island group off Tasmania’s southern coast. This unit was explicitly selected by Ken Gourlay for his solo, non-stop world record circumnavigation, surviving sustained 74-knot Southern Ocean survival storms without a single mechanical glitch. Engineered for heavy-displacement world-cruising vessels carrying up to 140 m² of canvas, it is the ultimate expression of indestructible, maintenance-free sail control.

What’s In The Box

Armored Lower Drum Unit: Structural, heavy-walled drum with max-diameter open Torlon bearing races for instant salt clearance.
Max-Load Halyard Swivel: Armored overhead slider block built to manage extreme wire loads and prevent halyard wrap.
Heavy-Wall Foil Extrusions: Robust 2-metre aluminium twin-groove segments, pre-machined for seamless structural alignment.
Internal Joiners & Fasteners: High-strength alignment sleeves and a complete set of marine-grade stainless fasteners and rivets.
Sail Feeder & Top Cap: Integrated entry guides for smooth, snag-free sail hoisting and top torque protection.
DIY Installation Manual: Step-by-step illustrated guide written in plain, practical language.
What You Will Need to Supply: Your existing or new forestay wire, a premium 10mm or 12mm low-stretch furling line, and heavy-duty deck lead blocks.
⚠️ Important Sizing Note: Due to the severe structural loads managed by the Maatsuyker 220, a brief technical confirmation call is highly recommended. Please forward your vessel's displacement and full rigging dimensions to sails@reefitsystems.com.au to secure processing validation.
Shipping & Installation
Free Shipping: We include delivery to most Australian locations at no extra charge.
DIY-Friendly Design: Shipped in manageable, 2-metre boxes.
Professional Installation Is Recommended - Due to the size and load range of this model, professional installation is recommended unless the owner has suitable rigging experience.
