HARKEN YACHT FITTINGS Unit 3 Reflex™ Furling — Drive Unit
The patented Reflex system provides sailors confidence that their free-flying asymmetrical spinnakers, gennakers, and code sails will furl completely with speed and control. Designed for boats up to 17.4 m (58'), the Unit 3 is rated at 4.5T maximum working load and handles 10 mm (3/8 in) line diameter.
The drive unit reacts reflexively to rotate the torsion cable, immediately transferring torque to the head swivel without unwanted corkscrewing that delays response. The head swivel reacts instantly, spinning the sail smoothly and completely from top to bottom for an even roll-up and super-tight wrap. The furled spinnaker lowers easily to the deck, ready for the next hoist.
