177 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 perma- nently 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 exist- ing torsion cables finished with eyes to be easi- ly 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
