EXCLUSIVE ADVANTAGES OF KARVER FURLERS

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.

WHY A FURLER ?

Unlike conventional reefing systems that are fixed to the stay and have rigid extrusions, a furler is a light cast off system that allows ease of deploying and striking a sail with the added convenience of lowering and storage of the rolled sail, minimizing weight and windage aloft. The rolled sail is easily removed from the sail locker, the drum attached to the deck and a halyard attached to the swivel. Raise the rolled sail and simple unroll it and set the sheets. In addition a single furler may be utilized on numerous sails (gennaker, staysail, stormsail,……..) improving sail handling and overall safety aboard.

EXCLUSIVE ADVANTAGES OF KARVER FURLERS

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. The spool or lower mechanism attached to the deck:
