Hello Everyone

I am clearing out excessive inventory for Halcyon. I have had her for 15 years now and I have decided to get rid of some of my furlers.

I am about to upgrade to Karvers which were too expensive for me but I have managed to secure 2 for a very reasonable price from Honnor Marine.
These are certainly the Rolls Royce of continuous line furlers but are very expensive new.

Anyway

I have 3 Series of the original furlers which can be used for either on the bowsprit or staysail. They are lightly used but in full working order
These are:

The cost new are approximately £170.00

I am wanting £85 each +P&P

If you are interested please contact me.

Note they are without the top swivel but come complete with lines

Kind regards

Simon Karvers are excellent. I would recommend bringing them back either side of the hatch to a simple cleat. if they are right next to the hatch (rather than outboard) you can stand up and use them which is much easier.

Simon,
which Karver furler model do you recommend.Ronstan are ok but furling can always be improved

Hi Merlin

Now that is a very good question!

The two I got from Bob were the same that Mike Brookes had on his boat. I think that they are KF1 series.

They are very expensive at £729 RRP each. I would have stuck with something a little cheaper (see Ronstan S60 which is about £250 with the furling line- see mods to Moth on the site) but I got a very good deal on two of these for the staysail and yankee.

At the same time I also got some spares such as a cable for the centre plate and a winch drum.

Nothing generally goes wrong with the drum but it would be very expensive to replace if anything happened to it (I have priced it up to make- just in case!)

Kind regards

Simon
