April 2011 - New Continuous Furler

KZ marine, a New Zealand based manufacturing company, is famous for supplying furlers to the best racing yachts in the world. From Americas Cup to Volvo Ocean racers, TP 52’s to Maxi’s, KZ furlers come with a world-class reputation.

Working closely with Weta Marine has enabled KZ Marine to develop a fantastic continuous line furler. Compact and lightweight the RF200 is injection molded with glass filled nylon. The head and base units come with watertight stainless steel bearings, and the marine grade stainless steel eyes and pins making the unit maintenance free. The removable rope peeler allows for hassle free changes to the furler line. Tested in conjunction with Weta Marine, the development process is now complete and production of RF200 is underway.

Sick of tuning the amount of turns on the gennaker on the beach only to have your race spoiled by not getting the sail away at the bottom mark and sailing a beat with a falpping leech? Contact your local Weta distributor to order one now!
