KF8.0 single line option to transform the continuous line wheel version into a single line version. Option valid for the 4 ranges : Standard, Racing, Classic or Structural.
Most of our furlers can be ordered in a single line version (like a classic roller furler). We do recommend 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,…). We also recommend it to racers looking to reduce the friction of double continuous line wheel furling lines.

Strengths
– Available on all KF, KFR, KFC and KFX versions
– Sleek and elegant design
– Carbon flanges
– Lightweight and compact
– Our new drum versions make it easier to return to a toothed wheel version if necessary.
– Dimensions almost identical to a toothed wheel version
– The use of a single line instead of a continuous line causes less friction. This is one of the reasons why we 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.
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.
