| Product Description |
The KSF Furler includes all the advantages of the KF line, but incorporates
an independent swivel on the top of the drum that enables the sail to furl
from the top to the bottom. It is now possible to furl the Asym from the
cockpit for more safety and convenience when cruising. This is also a weapon
for racers that can hold their asym closer to the mark and in worst weather
conditions.
The anti torsion line is independent from the luff. The tack of the
asymmetrical is attached to an independent swivel on the top of the
furling drum while
the head of the spinnaker is lashed to a lashing thimble. When furling, the
spinnaker starts to furl from the head and continues down to bottom, hence
the term “Top Down Furler”. The system is already approved by
Maxi Yachts and do not need to have the spinnaker retrofitted.
Includes:
- Furling Drum
- Top Swivel |
