Harken Cable-less Code Zero Unit 1 Reflex

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 code zero 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. Reflex furling’s quick release geometry allows crews to use multiple sails with the same bottom unit.

Compact design reduces weight aloft, maximizes luff length. Head swivels can be sewn directly to today’s cable-less sails. Padded cover prevents damage to spars.

Offset holes in drive sheave grip rope securely when furling.

Quick-release modular T-fitting allows single drive unit to handle multiple sails. Rolled sail easily disconnects with the pull of one spring-loaded pin; new furled sail slides and locks into T-slot.

Flexible polycarbonate alloy cowling allows rope to be easily fed into drive sheave without tools; keeps rope captive. Stripper and feeder work together to prevent furling line from jamming.
