Any Port Marine are proud to be the Australian distributor for Karver Systems.
Karver was created in 2004 after identifying a gap in the sailing market: the arrival of dyneema textile links to replace stainless steel links (shackles) and an increasing disparity between the advanced design of sailboats and deck fittings, which remained very traditional in appearance.
All new products have technological innovations (about fifteen patents), a bold step forward in the state of the art design. Product conception is based on the fundamental principle of simple and efficient technology supported by a sleek design.
Developing solutions with racing teams (America's Cup, Hydroptère, Vendée Globe), has led to a flow-on effect with a range of products that can provide performance enhancing solutions for all types of Sailboats.
Products used and approved by racing teams appeal to the cruising market as these products are technically easy to use, reliable, stronger and inherently better performing.
An example of this is the Karver range of furlers which have, for many years, been a reference for quality and performance. They possess many advanced technical features that are very popular with racers and cruisers alike; weight, dimensions, low friction, load capacity, etc, as well as the automatic locking system of the cog-wheel, all of which appeals to sailors looking for simplicity, reliability and security.

DownloadKarver have introduced a new range of furlers faithful to its DNA: Innovation, Performance and Design. furler - Version 3. Most of the functions found today on the furler market were designed by Karver: automatic locking of the drum, quick furling line installation, captive fast pins, carbon drum, 3:1 friction sheave with fast pin etc… And here are 3 more added on this new furler:
The range has been revised to reduce the gap between models and better suit current applications: KF0.9, KF1.5, KF1.5 Large, KF3.0, KF3.0 Large, KF4.5, KF6.0, KF8.0, KF10, KF12.
For the smaller models (KF1.5 and KF3.0), which are mainly operated by hand, larger drum versions are available in order to have more power and thus facilitate furling without a winch.
The new KF V3 furler comes packed with features that are only options from other brands at a very competitive price.
The Karver KRS reefing furler is an Eco-Designed reefing furler to last. Robustness, reliability and elegance are at the heart of the design. The KRS is a manual furler for all sailboats from 20 to 80 feet. The drum is compact and wide to reduce winding efforts. With a competitive price, Karver offers a full-option reefing furler. This marks the end of having to choose between cruising and regatta range. An elliptical profile with double groove, removable drum and luff line guide are delivered as standard.
The Karver range of locking devices ensure you get the best out of your sails.
Installing a Karver lock makes it possible to avoid a halyard stretch thus releasing the full power of the sails.
They also save weight and cost as the diameter of the halyard can be reduced as it no longer carries the load of the sail when sailing. The installation of a halyard lock also reduces compression in the mast as the halyard is no longer strained.
It would be a mistake to think that these advantages are only for the racing scene. A gain in weight aloft results in better boat stability by decreasing the pitching and rolling in heavy weather conditions in all types of boats.
We can supply locks for Halyards, Mainsails and reefs.
