Key Features

UNIQUE DRUMLOCKING MECHANISM

FURLING: Pull on the endless line to furl.( If one accidently releases the furling line the mechanism locks automatically).
UNFURLING: To unlock the drum, just tug a little on the line in the same direction as the sail was furled which releases the lock and enables the sail to unfurl

QUICK USE CAPTIVE PINS

Quick fit mechanism to connect the cable to the furler swivel and drum.
The furler drum is provided with a snap shackle up to and including KF5.
HR shackle is standard on the swivel up to and including KF5.

EXTREMELY LIGHT AND COMPACT

Our new range is 35% lighter and more compact than the competition. Swivel light weight decreases impact on the mast when hoisting and lowering the sail.

COMPOSITE SPOOL

Unlike metallic drums, the composite spool around the drum is shock absorbent and protects the drum, the sail and the deck from impacts.

SUPER LOW FRICTION BEARINGS

KF range low friction bearings have been specifically designed for our furlers with high tech materials.
Furling has never been made easier.

CONTINUOUS LINE INSTALLATION

Easy and quick engagement of the continuous line with no tools required.
Karver invented the concept where the endless line is installed within seconds and stays secured on the drum

DRUM LOCKING MECHANISM

The mechanism is reliable and installed with a fuse. If the maximum load is exceeded, the mechanism unlocks automatically. The drum then works like a traditional continuous line furler.
The locking mechanism can be removed at anytime if the lock is not required.

Why Choose a Karver Furler

The furler is a light and removable system to quickly launch the foresails on your sailboat.
The furled sail is easier to handle, and can be readily stored below out of the way.
The same furler can usually be used for several sail: gennakers, stormsails, staysails, etc and more recently on spinnakers.
