A furler is the ideal system to set and strike light sails. In a race utilizing multiple furlers for various sails, Karver offers the advantage of roller furling without the weight and windage of a conventional roller reefing systems. K.F. Furlers optimize sail handling with minimal weight aloft.
Karver is an industry leader in this concept offering a complete range of superior products for all sailors.
Exclusive Advantages of Karver Furlers
The spool or lower mechanism attached to the deck:
An elastic impact resistant plastic cover encloses the spool. In the event of an impact it resists all permanent deformation that may restrict or interfere with the systems ability to rotate. The plastic cover avoids potential scratches and tears that may occur with a metallic covers when the mechanism is taken off or stored with the sails and sheets.
Engaging the loop line (patented):
K.F. Furlers have a notch on the spool allowing fitting or removal of the loop line with out removing the line cover or dismounting the system.
Advantages:
- Eliminates the need to remove the cover and avoids the risk of loosing small parts (screws, pins...).
- 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.

High performance, power and lightness...
What is a flying sails furler with drum?
A continuous line 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. Drum furlers have a classic furling line like manual reefing-furling systems.

Comfort, safety and performance
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 roach.
Two types of systems:
Profurl offers two types of in-boom furlers:
- The MK0R and MK1R models are equipped with a Dacron luff sail and profile integrating a feeder and a luff track
- The MK2R, MK3R and MK4 models integrate aluminium luff profiles.

Seldén now takes its jib furling system a step further with the through-deck Furlex TD.
The Furlex TD is the latest version of Seldén’s famous Furlex. The TD stands for Through Deck. The system has been designed to provide a virtually watertight, through-deck installation. The small amount of water that may seep through is easily dealt with by normal drainage.
A universal joint above the deck gives full freedom of movement to the forestay. The line drum is located below the deck. Like all other Furlex systems, the TD comes with a so-called free-tack function for the tack hook and a load distributor in the halyard swivel.
The system must be installed through a stable foredeck. The maximum permitted deck thickness is 10 mm.
The Furlex 200TD - 400TD are available for forestay diameters ø6 - 14 mm.

Unit 00AL is the perfect jib reefing and furling system for small cruising boats under 26 ft (8 m). It combines most of the features of larger Harken® furling systems in a simpler unit. Like other Harken® systems, the main components of the 00AL are 6061-T6 Hardkote-anodized aluminum with Teflon® impregnation. Features include a free-spinning, omnidirectional bearing system with multiple ball bearing races, a double grooved foil for racing sail changes, and a lightweight halyard swivel to minimize windage and weight aloft. The furler’s large inside spool provides plenty of mechanical advantage for smooth, easy reefing and furling.
There are enough aluminum foil sections to build a headstay with a pin-to-pin measurement to 31 ft 6 in (9.60 m). Harken® offers an additional foil and connector to extend headstay length to 35 ft (10.7 m).
Note: You must cut your headstay to install 00AL furling. You must also
purchase a Harken® clevis pin to match your chainplate.

Harken carbon furlers are the ultimate lightweight reefing and furling solution. Featuring all-carbon foils and carbon components in the drum and torque tube, these units can save you from 25 to 200 pounds (11-90 kg). The lower weight fore and aloft not only reduces pitching and heeling, but also reduces the amount of lead needed in the keel.
Carbon furlers have a smooth, elegant finish and are UV resistant. The fiber, the same used in most carbon masts (T300 or equivalent), is laid in the direction of the load to optimize strength and weight. High-strength Spectra® line on the tack, head, and halyard swivels replaces heavy metal attachments. The independent swivels improve sail shape by letting the sail center furl before the head.
Foils are made of filament-wound carbon to maximize torsional strength. For faster sail changes, contact Harken to order foils with double sail grooves instead of the standard single groove. Built-in turnbuckles make installation and mast tuning easy. Foil kits include an extra foil and connector. Installation by an
authorized professional required.

High-Strength Materials, Sculpted Design
The torque tube, motor, and gear housing are deep-saturation Hardkote-anodized, UV-stabilized aluminum. The sculpted gear box and streamlined motor housing is sealed with high-quality lip seals. The motor mounts vertically into pulpits, clearing anchor tackle and providing low windage.
High-Torque, Low-Power Motor
The motor is a permanent magnet design and features high torque and low power consumption. Inside, the hardened steel gears are permanently lubricated. The reversible drive uses a high-reduction worm gear set to prevent reefed sails from unfurling under load.
Easy to Install or Upgrade
C-shaped connectors slip over the headstay without feeding wire through the connector. The lower unit fits over the existing turnbuckle allowing easy length adjustment. Easy upgrade from a Cruising Unit 2 and MKIV Unit 3 manual unit.

Originally built for Volvo 60s, Code Zero furlers are used with free-flying asymmetrical headsails and staysails. Suitable for boats up to 125 ft (38 m), they tame Code Zero sails, screechers, Gennakers® and staysails.
The eight-faceted sheave-drive grips line aggressively to furl huge sails with minimal line. The large diameter makes furling smooth and easy. The 3126, 3127, 3128 and 3115 Code Zero’s spring-loaded arms hold line captive in the sheave. Arms open to remove the line for quick unfurling, or to strike the furler. A built-in stripper safely guides line out of the furler. The lower unit incorporates a quick sail disconnect by pushing a spring-loaded button. Compact hardened steel roller thrust bearings handle extremely high luff loads. Furler heights are kept to a minimum to maximize luff length.

MKIII hydraulic furling allows you to reef, furl, or set sails with the touch of a button. The MKIII hydraulic furler is made of Hardkote-anodized aluminum and mirror-polished investment-cast stainless steel. The streamlined housing fits easily within existing pulpits. Double swivels at the tack and head help shape sails when reefing.
The furler’s lower toggle fixes at 90-degree intervals to accept any chainplate direction. The reversible hydraulic drive uses a high-reduction, double-enveloping worm gear to prevent reefed sails from unfurling under load.
Hydraulic MKIII furlers are suitable for cruising boats from 50 to 120 feet (15-36.6 m) with headstays of up to 1-inch wire (25 mm) or -115 rod (22.2 mm).

The Furlex jib furling and reefing System was first introduced in 1983. The basic concept was not new, but Furlex broke new ground with innovative design, attention to detail, good value and Worldwide service backup. Today, Furlex is the world market leader, and a normal feature on any well equipped yacht.
Furlex, with its attractive combination of aluminium, composite and stainless steel, adds more than a touch of style to any yacht. The smooth lines are not only pleasing to the eye, they also make Furlex very durable and easyon the sail and on the sailor.
