The ultimate furling boom for 55ft+ yachts
Made Type S – The Ultimate Furling Boom for 55ft+ Yachts and Superyachts
Experience flawless sail handling with the Made Type S furling boom – engineered for performance, reliability, and elegance.
Designed for yachts over 55 feet and superyachts, the Type S combines advanced engineering with uncompromising aesthetics.
Proven Open-Front Concept
At the heart of the Type S lies Made’s open-front concept.
This innovative design allows the sail to furl as close to the mast as possible, requiring only a minimal mast track ramp.
The result? Exceptionally smooth furling with minimal friction and effortless sail control – even in challenging conditions.

Precision Engineering and Tapered Design
The Type S boom features a tapered, seamless body crafted from precision-bent 5083 marine-grade aluminium sheets.
Each shell is TIG-welded for maximum rigidity, while the front and aft ends are CNC-milled to ensure an exact fit.
This combination delivers a lightweight yet ultra-strong boom with outstanding torsional stiffness and visual harmony on any yacht.
Flawless Finish – Painted to Perfection
A yacht that is more than perfect deserves a boom to match.
Every Made Type S is finished using a full Awl Grip paint system, available in any colour to complement your hull or mast.
The result is a durable, high-gloss surface with a superyacht-level appearance.
Perfect Sail Integration
Every furling system performs only as well as the sail it handles.
That’s why Made provides detailed sailmaker guidelines for each boom.
These instructions guarantee that your mainsail rolls evenly around the mandrel, ensuring smooth, reliable furling whether supplied by your local sailmaker or directly from Made.
Drive Options – Power Your Way
Manual Drive
Simple, efficient, and reliable.
The mandrel connects to a drum in front of the mast via an axle, with a retrieval line led to a winch (preferably electric).
Furling requires trimming both the halyard and retrieval line simultaneously for optimal tension and sail shape.
Electric Drive
A sleek, in-mandrel electric motor delivers silent and powerful furling.
The system includes a custom PLC controller for smooth operation and easy installation.
An integrated brake prevents the sail from unrolling unintentionally, offering maximum control and safety.
Hydraulic Drive
For large yachts or vessels with existing hydraulic systems, the hydraulic drive offers bulletproof reliability.
Located in the aft section of the boom, it provides high torque and smooth operation – ideal for superyachts and long-range cruisers.
Selecting the Right Size
Choosing the correct furling boom depends on your yacht’s P (luff length) and E (foot length) dimensions.
Made’s standard range covers most popular yacht models, while custom sizing ensures a perfect match for unique designs and multihulls.
Multihulls typically feature a larger E and smaller P – contact your local Made dealer for expert guidance.
