Karver Single Line Drum KF6.0
Part no. PF305600
KF6.0 single line option to order the continuous line wheel version instead of a single line version during the order process. Option valid for the 4 ranges: Standard, Racing, Classic or Structural.
Most of ther furlers can be ordered in a single line version (like a classic roller furler). Karver recommends this option for the use of fixed furlers or those intended to stay for a long time on deck (KFX structural furlers, staysail at post,…). They also recommend it to racers looking to reduce the friction of double continuous line wheel furling lines.

- The use of a single line instead of a continuous line causes less friction. This is one of the reasons why you'll find more and more drum version on board racing sailboats.
- The maneuver with only one line allows to have a clearer bridge and to run only one line along the stanchions.
KARVER TIPS
- Be careful! The single line option on a gennaker or code furler is not always recommended. The longer the foot, the more rope is needed to store it. During rapid operations, there is a risk of overtaking.
- If the rope diameter is too big, it will fill the single line before completing the furling.
- Single line versions are often heavier than continuous line wheel versions
- The choice between a continuous line wheel or single line version is a subject of frequent discussion. Without any particular technical constraint (length of curb), there is no bad choice.
