Description

KFH6.0 external swivel hook compatible with KF6.0 series furlers or competing furlers. A KFH hook is a 2-in-1 external hook. That is to say that it is both a hook but also a swivel. It was designed to replace a standard swivel (the upper part of the furler) and is therefore used with a furler drum. The assembly is particularly light and compact. Invented by Karver, the KFH hook is more than proven. It has been equipping more than 70% of Imocas for more than 10 years. This is not, however, a product exclusively reserved for racing. It is found more and more on travel yachts and particularly catamarans for their scoops or codes 0. If you want to learn more about the many benefits of a hook, take the time to read our KarverPedia article on this topic. STRENGTHS - – The world market benchmark for swivel hooks – A hook reduces halyard diameters (weight), greatly improves the shape stability of the sails (less elasticity), eliminates slippage or wear of halyards, reduce the compression of the mast, replace a textile attachment with a mechanical attachment, etc. – The dimensions of the pins and the forks are perfectly matched to our furler dimensions – Ultra proven reliability (83 KFH in operation in the last Vendée Globe) – The most compact and lightest external hook on the market – Fixing by a lashing on the mast allows you to always have the hook in a perfect position, including on rotating masts – No hooking control. Everything is done only with the halyard – When the hook is not in use, it is on standby at the foot of the mast. It is perfectly accessible for any maintenance and there is no unnecessary weight in the upper parts of the mast
