The KJSK kit facilitates the installation and use of a staysail / storm sail. The kit incorporates our very effective 3-jaws KJ jammer and a hoist for tensioning the forestay. The bracket connects to any deck chain plate. The addition of a flying furler (Karver or other) allows safe use from the cockpit. The set is light, easy to set up and effective in the breeze.

At Karver, we believe in a community of supportive and caring sailors. It is in this spirit that we have created a platform for exchanging files of yacht fittings parts to be printed in 3D or produced locally. Access to this platform is totally free. We have made the first files available and we are adding those we receive from our community. A simple innovation that feels good.

The KFX-C (Cunningham) is a 100% racing product and initially designed for Imocas. This carbon and titanium-based structural furler incorporates a cunningham system in order to be able to make very fine adjustments (70 mm) on the J2, the only sail still in position on this type of sailboat. This type of adjustment can only work with a very technical and rigid sail.

The KFRTi is the most optimized version of our furlers. Aluminum and stainless steel parts are now made of titanium. The wheel protection and the wheel are made of Carbon / Kevlar. 6 of these furlers were on board the last Vendée Globe and came back like new! Light, compact and with a very low friction ratio, the KFRTi is an incredible weapon in racing and for the most demanding Super Yacht crews.

Our customers have been waiting 20 years for the arrival of a Karver reefing furler. It is done and it is faithful to our DNA. We worked on 3 aspects: design for a more beautiful furler, reliability for more durability and pleasure of use for an easy-to-use and full options furler. We still want to offer high-performance products at the best price. Compare! KRS…the reefing furler by Karver.

The new KFH V3 Titanium is the most high tech and highest performance external furling lock on the market. While keeping the principle of locking which has made the success of KFH for more than 15 years on more than 75% of Imocas, we have also reinforced each element while lightening and compacting the product thanks to the use of titanium and of carbon. KFH: The worldwide market benchmark.
