163 Easily change furled spinnakers • Quick-release modular T-fitting allows single drive unit to handle multiple sails. • Each sail has its own torsion cable. Head and tack swivels are permanently fitted to each sail. • Rolled sail easily disconnects with the pull of one spring-loaded pin; new furled sail slides and locks into T-slot. Lightweight, low-profile head swivel • Integral thimble/terminal for torsion cable saves weight; no fork, eye, or pin connections. • Compact design reduces weight aloft, maximizes luff length. • Padded cover prevents damage to spars. DO NOT use Harken equipment for human suspension unless product is specifically certified and labeled for such use. Dyneema is a registered trademark of DSM IP Assets B.V. L.L.C. Reflex for retrofit • Both head and tack swivels are available with fork and pin interfaces to allow sails with existing torsion cables finished with eyes to be easily adapted to Reflex furling. Contact Harken for details. Immediate, smooth, controlled furling • Reflex cable is more torsionally resistant to corkscrewing than the current breed of textile cable. • All Reflex furlers use braided stainless steel wire filaments over braided textile core to transmit torque to the head swivel for faster furling. Unit 3 furlers use a Dyneema® core, which twists less and handles increased halyard loads without stretching, making them well suited for code zero applications by eliminating need for additional luff cable. • Smooth polymer cable jacket protects sails against abrasion. Reflex for cable-less Code sails • Reflex head swivels and tack plates with integral T-fittings can be sewn directly to today’s cable-less sails. The compact solution allows for longer luff lengths. Plus the same drive unit can service the whole inventory. Contact Harken for details. Code Zero sails • The quick-release T-fitting allows the bottom unit to handle both code zero and asymmetric sails. • The fixed tack terminal option is used when the torsion cable is inside the luff. A 2:1 soft attach is recommended for increased purchase and luff tension. Introducing Reflex Furling Reflex Furling Techniques Padded cover
