Carbo Foil by Harken |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
According to the following rules interpretation issued by the class office on March 28th, 2007 Carbo Foils are now permissible... The Carbo Racing Foil material is very low friction, making hoists, douses and sail changes faster. Its high strength provides dramatic improvement in resistance to line wear, especially when jibing asymmetrical spinnaker sheets. Impact resistance is increased - less damage from spinnaker poles, especially in cold weather. Heat has little effect on stiffness. The black color provides superior UV protection and is easy to see against a light sky, making the jib trimmer's job easier. Because the Carbo foil uncoils and straightens, installation is simple. Snapping the foil onto the stay is easy and can be done with the mast up. The prefeeder rollers are Hardkote-anodized and Teflon impregnated aluminum and spin freely on low-friction bushings.

Have you ever had the luff tape come out of the prefeeder when hoisting the headsail in heavy conditions? The Wichard Prefeeder has been designed to quickly and simply address this, it can be easily opened with one hand and reconnected to the headsail luff tape without the need to drop the sail or laboriously feeding the sail by hand. Made with Wichard's innovative design and manufacturing techniques this is a must have item on any serious offshore racing yacht. Before re-hoisting the bowman doesn’t need to remove the headsail from the luff grove, he just has to open the prefeeder and close it around the luff tape. No need to remove the headsail anymore! To open simply push the spring with your thumb, the jaws will open automatically. To close, squeeze the jaws together between thumb and fingers, until the spring re engages. The prefeeder can be easily installed below any headsail foil or headsail reefing configuration. In the closed position, it ensures a smooth and easy sail.
