A common problem with continuous-line furlers is, well, all that line. Managing a short loop up on the foredeck isn’t so bad, but cruisers who prefer to tend furlers from the cockpit inevitably end up with a lot of spaghetti running the length of the boat. Enter the Seldén Double Fairlead, which functions much like the fairleads long used with conventional furling lines. The genius of the Seldén system is a spring-loaded “push and twist” bale, which can be easily opened or closed for reeving or removing the line underway. $75. Seldén Mast
