The STANDARD KF8.0 is a furler that can withstand a workload of 8 T. It is intended for sailboats from 55 to 65 feet. The KF8.0 is a Karver furler of 3rd generation. It is fitted as standard with a carbon / Kevlar® continuous line wheel, a reinforced ABS casing protected by K Krok protection, our 2 in 1 K Snap snap shackle, our remote locking system for the continuous line wheel and a swivel also protected by our K Krok impact-resistant protection. The drum and the swivel are fitted with a lashing eye as standard. There are many options available to make it unique and perfectly suited to your needs.


The STANDARD KF8.0 is delivered with a drum and its swivel. It allows furling in complete safety from the cockpit of complementary so-called “flying” sails such as a gennaker, a code 0, a staysail, etc… It is also possible to store an asymmetric spinnaker by equipping it with our KTS adapter.


For more than 15 years, Karver has been shaking up the market by regularly offering new innovations. We are at the origin of the remote locking systems of the continuous line wheel, of the system of quick furling line installation, captive fast pins, friction sheaves with fast pins, carbon drums, … and we are above all recognized for offering the lightest and most compact furlers on the market. This is the reason why we are very present aboard offshore racing yachts and aboard the most efficient yachts such as the Imocas which are equipped with more than 70% of our furlers.
This 3rd Karver’s generation of furlers definitely places them in a pioneering position.

Weight: 2.52kg

Boat Size: 50-60ft

Working Load: 8000kgs

Breaking Load: 16000kgs 

Major innovations :
– Patented carbon & Kevlar continuous line wheel > Resistance, better grip, less wear, aesthetics, weight gain, customization possibilities. The weight gain linked to the use of carbon has allowed us to strengthen more essential mechanical elements.
– Karver Snap (K Snap) 2 in 1> 2: 1 friction sheave + snap shackle > Very compact & resistant. The only snap shackle on the market to actually hold the full load. The friction sheave will be particularly useful to position your furler on a bowsprit in complete safety.
– The K Kroks are silicone impact-resistant protectors that we have installed as standard on the ABS casings and the swivels of the Standard, Classic and Structural versions. These new ergonomic protections will effectively protect the boat (hull, deck, mast, etc, ..) and the furler itself.
– Aesthetics : Black range, carbon, mirror polished stainless steel, hard anodization of aluminum.

Other new features :
– Wide continuous line wheel available for KF1.5, KF3.0 : More torque for less effort and more power….
– New opening system for captive fast pins that are more ergonomic, more reliable and easier to clean.
– Replacing the swivel shackles with lashing eyes. More compact, lighter and more resistant.

Merits the Five-Star Ratings
Format: Paperback
Barney “Scout” Mann and his wife “Frodo” host many prospective Pacific Crest Trail thru-hikers, at their home, and shuttle them to the trail to start their trek. Scout is a Triple Crowner having hiked the Pacific Crest, Continental Divide and Appalachian Trails and has been very active as a volunteer, serving as a board member and in various capacities for several trail organizations. This eminence translates into a great number of five-star reviews: yet, this account merits them. Journeys North is about the author’s PCT thru-hike in 2005. It predates “Wild” and the resultant explosion in the trail’s popularity. The book focuses on the Mann’s and several hikers, who move north, in their proximity. There is considerable background and detail given about these characters, which enhances the readers appreciation of their trip. This balances with sufficient description about the trail and the hike making Journeys North a captivating and unique read among trail narratives. In the final chapters, the trekkers are buffeted and challenged by early season blizzards. Forced out of the snowbound high mountains, Frodo, Scout and their group improvise a low land route to complete their walk. With numerous of characters, the bouncing around and referencing of prior information can be confusing to the reader. There’s some heartwarming tales. The author describes an anonymous benefactor who provides two out-of-funds youngsters a considerable amount of money allowing them to continue towards Canada. The reader doesn’t learn whether the pair completes their journey; but that was a truly generous act, Barney. Journeys North transcends the trail in its portrayal of the human condition and the adversity and challenges that we confront in life. The book validates the camaraderie and caring that develops among hikers and the positive effect the PCT can have on changing lives. Well done.

A Vivid Account of Gallant Thru-hikers
Format: Kindle
This book a little confusing at first since he is telling the story of several hikers at once. So keeping them all straight takes some effort. The actual description of the hike, the challenges and all the people along the way does make for fascinating reading. I personally, have great respect for those who attempt this formidable hike. They truly deserve our respect. I don't think you could be disappointed reading this book.
