176 7351.10 7352.10 7353.10 In a quickly-evolving environment, the Harken Reflex furling system is pushing free-flying sail furling forward. The patented Reflex system provides sailors confidence that their free-flying asymmetrical spinnakers, gennakers, and code sails will furl completely with speed and control. Pull the furling line and the compact drive unit reacts reflexively to rotate the torsion cable, immediately transferring torque to the head. The head swivel reacts instantly, spinning from top to bottom where perfect furls must start. Reflex furling requires much less luff tension to transfer torque than earlier technology, making it the perfect solution for today’s budding cable-less code sail technology which requires about half the luff loads previously required. And whether the Reflex torsion cable is specified, or in applications where the head swivel and a tack plate are sewn directly to the sail, Reflex furling’s quick release geometry allows crews to use multiple sails with the same bottom unit. Three sizes: Unit 1 is rated at 1.5T MWL for boats to 11 m (36'). Unit 2 is rated at 2.5T MWL for boats up to 14 m (45'). Unit 3 is rated at 4.5T MWL for boats up to 17.4 m (58'). Complete even roll-up, tight wrap • Low-friction ball bearing tack swivel allows the upper part of the sail to furl first. Strong, lightweight • Large diameter hardcoat-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum drive sheave. • Torlon® ball bearings reduce friction, simplify maintenance. Holds line securely • Flexible polycarbonate alloy cowling allows rope to be easily fed into drive sheave without tools; keeps rope captive. • Offset holes in drive sheave grip rope securely when furling. • Stripper and feeder work together to prevent furling line from jamming.
