An elastic impact resistant plastic cover encloses the spool. In event of an impact it resists all permanent deformation that may restrict or interfere with the system ability to rotate.
KARVER K-Furlers have a notch on the spool allowing fitting or removal of the loop line without removing the line cover or dismounting the system.
EXCLUSIVE ADVANTAGES OF KARVER K-FURLERS
- Eliminates the need to remove the cover and avoids the risk of losing small parts.
- Keeps the mechanism closer to the deck by avoiding the necessary displacement required for removable covers.
- The loop line is simply and quickly engaged or removed from the spool through the notch.
- Increases available luff length by minimizing the height of the spool and tack fitting.
KARVER K-Furlers are available for safe working loads going from 0.75 to 12 T.

Like all the KARVER K-Furlers, the KF1 is maintenance free and protected by a special anodizing with Teflon impregnation.
No pins or small parts to lose.
Technical details of the KF1:
Total weight = 374 g
Safe working load = 1.5 T
Height (drum+swivel) = 97 mm

A flying sails furler is designed for handling "flying sails" (gennaker, staysails, light jibs, etc.). Flying sails are sails that are not permanently rigged (unlike a genoa on a reefing system) and are stowed below when they are not used.
Unlike a manual headsail reefing system, a furler only allows sailing with the sail completely unfurled. It does not allow sailing under reduced sail and does not contribute to supporting the mast. Furlers with continuous line are based on a synchronous pulley system.

Facnor standard drum Gennaker furlers are similar in style to headsail furlers but without the aluminum foils. They are equipped with either a shackle or marine eye at the bottom of the drum, and a shackle for securing the tack. Their high load capacity and load-guaranteed design make them a good choice for handling very large sails. They are maintenance free thanks to sealed steel bearings, anodized aluminum drum cheeks and stainless steel rope guide

The Profurl in-boom furlers are dedicated to furling, raising and lowering fully battened mainsail. Hoisting or reefing the mainsail is a simple and safe operation as the control of mainsail is performed from the safety of the cockpit thanks to the furling line. As the opposite of other systems, the Profurl in-boom furlers are designed also to increase boat performances by reefing fully battened mainsail with a standard roac

Schaefer Marine's Boom Furling System is the result of years of research, design and sailing. Proven over thousands of miles of use, our unique Patented Articulating Sail Track enables you to reef or furl on any point of sail all from the safety of the cockpit.
It is the most advanced solution for mainsail reefing and furling. The unique Sail Track and feeder combine to precisely transfer any full battened main to the mandrel located within the boom - without snags or jams - and with battens perfectly aligned.
Equally significant, reefing is easily and safely accomplished by one person on any point of sail - without changing course, heading up into the wind or leaving the cockpit.
Boom furling has always been a great idea. It took Schaefer engineering to make it a flawless one.

The main characteristics of this article are functionality and practicality. The awning is available with either TREVIRA or DACRON cloth.
On sailing yachts, it may be fitted either on both sides of the boom (see drawing), on the foredeck, or on the backstay to protect the skipper.
On motor yachts, it may be installed on the roll-bar to protect the cockpit.
It is manually operated: you just have to free the locking line and drag the awning to unroll it. A slight pull on the line is enough to roll the awning that will disappear inside the foil.
It is a very practical accessory because it may be stopped in any position, thus offering the desired shade and bettering life onboard.
With high wind, the awning may be used as dodger if it is anchored to the rig or to the washboard.
Its functionality sensibly augments if you use supporting arms to be fitted on the boom. In this case, the awning does not have to be anchored to the rig, as it is kept upright thanks to the arms. The boom can then be moved sideways in order to shade the desired area.
This system allows you to use the awning even when you are sailing.
The awning may be used as a rain cover because TREVIRA cloth is rainproof.
It is a practical and fast system to be used. When the awning is rolled in, you just have to take off the arms in order not to have obstacles when sailing.

The KF-H (patented) is the only system on the market that combines the furling and the locking mechanism in the same unit. The lock mechanism allows to lock the swivel, the halyard and the sail directly onto the mast. The lock works automatically using the halyard to lock and to unlock. Used for flying sails (such as staysails and gennakers) it replaces the usual block system where luff tension comes from the long 2/1 or 3/1 halyard and a lot of compression in the mast. The system and the sail are locked on the mast and the luff is tensioned from the bottom by a 2/1 or 3/1 purchase placed under the lower part of the furler. The compression in the mast is minimized and it is possible to use a smaller and lighter halyard as it only carries the weight of the sail. Once the system is dropped on deck, there is only the very light hollowed male end remaining on the mast and the furling-lock mechanism is on deck and accessible for maintenance.
Advantages:
- no more structural halyard
- no more blocks above the swivel
- less compression in mast = safer
- smaller halyard diameter = lighter
- straighter sail luff
- very light weight at the top of the mast when system is not in use.
