It's no coincidence that carbon fibre is used in aeroplanes. Carbon composite combines stiffness and strength with low weight. Selden low-weight carbon spars have accentuated longitudinal stiffness. This means that forestay tension can be substantially increased. All experienced racing sailors know what this means in terms of increased performance. The combination of greater stiffness and reduced weight will bring you beyond the speed limits.

Hall seamless carbon-fiber masts have no peer in the combination of light weight, stiffness, and the ability to tune easily for changing conditions. Hall is the choice of the winning Cup crew in the last two events.

Varifold folding propellers have taken the market by storm. Regularly fitted by such notable yacht building names as Baltic, Swan, Wally, Moody and Oyster, the complete range of Varifolds has a model for cruiser racing and racing yachts of every size. Varifold is revolutionary in design and brings a revolution to the yachts they are fitted to. Radical reductions in noise and vibration and excellent performance under engine, both ahead and astern, are the result of the propellers unique design. Varifolds have proper helical pitch distribution, including pitch reduction towards the blade tip. This pitch reduction %u2018unloads%u2019 the blade tips and, combined with the skewed blades, greatly reduces noisy pressure pulses against a yachts hull. While some other folding propellers have a helical pitch shape, few have proper sections or pitch distribution. None, put all these requirements into a complete package, except Varifold.
So advanced is Varifolds design that a 4 blade version has successfully been fitted to a yacht with a 750hp engine, we believe that would have been an impossible task for any other folding propeller. Each Varifold, whatever its size, is built to the same extremely high specification from a nickel-aluminium-bronze alloy which guarantees great strength and high corrosion protection. Cruiser racing and racing yachts can now get the best of both worlds; a folding propeller that combines low drag when sailing, with efficient and quiet power when motoring. Oh, and by the way %u2013 Varifolds open in reverse, and not just sometimes!

Harken® racing pedestals allow crew members to trim from powerful standing positions. Customized to meet each yacht’s requirements, these pedestal systems can be linked together, allowing crew to work in tandem to produce more power for faster, more efficient maneuvers.
Belt-Drive Pedestals
Harken® belt-drive pedestals are molded from carbon fiber and epoxy. Prepreg lamination and autoclave curing maximize stiffness and strength. Components are made of Hardkote-anodized aluminum and 17-4PH stainless steel. Roller bearings, thermoplastic belt sprockets, and carbon-fiber reinforced drive belts result in the lowest possible weight.
Below-deck belt-drive pedestals are also offered in abovedeck/middrive styles. These pedestals can be removed and winches converted to manual operation to make more room in the cockpit during a long-distance race or cruise.
MX Pedestals
Harken’s MX carbon pedestals drive winches on small Grand-Prix racers like GP42s, GP52s and Open 60s. The patented overdrive system features two chains inside the pedestal, eliminating the weight of an external overdrive box. Two drive sprockets allow trimmers to select the gear ratio, switching between the 1:1 direct-drive and the fast 1:3 drive chain without reversing grinding directions.
