A well set up furler is a joy to use, but there are ways and means of making any furler, Harken or otherwise, perform just that little bit better. Here are a few tips to get the best out of your furler:
Harken equipment is designed for minimal maintenance, but some upkeep is required to give the best service and comply with the Harken limited warranty. In general, the most important aspect of maintenance is to keep your equipment clean by frequently flushing with fresh water.
“Hardware is our business. But sailing is our passion, so we’ve expanded our line to include accessories that enhance your sailing experience. Unlike many companies, we don’t just stamp our name on existing products. We’re actively involved with design and testing.”

Over the years, we have seen people struggling to control their boat. They have to use brute force to overcome friction, they leave dock with a reef even on a fine day because changing gear is so difficult, they bust their back steering against massive weather helm, they fight the boat tooth and nail. The end result is a bunch of exhausted, unhappy people, wondering what it is all about!
If you are going cruising, you want to relax and have a good time. If you are racing you want to concentrate on performance. In neither case do you want to fight the boat. The following articles are full of useful tips and relevant to all sailors, be you a gunk hole potterer or a gung ho racer.
Is that sailing getting to be getting bit of a grind? Perhaps that back isn’t quite as young as you would like it to be? Perhaps a bit more muscle would allow you to get more from your boat? Perhaps an electric winch is the solution? After all they are now a common sight on the latest cruisers.
