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.

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.
