HARKEN 2 ESP 6.5´ Foil

Upgrade your vessel´s sail handling capabilities with the HARKEN 2 ESP 6.5´ Foil, a crucial component for the renowned ESP (Elegant, Strong, Proven) furling system. Designed for cruisers and day sailors who demand reliability, strength, and ease of use, this foil section is engineered to provide years of smooth, dependable performance. It streamlines the process of reefing and furling your headsail, allowing you to react quickly to changing wind conditions with confidence and security, making your time on the water safer and more enjoyable.

The primary benefit of the HARKEN 2 ESP Foil is its exceptional strength and durability. Built to manage the significant pressures of sailing, it ensures your furling system operates flawlessly even under high loads. This robust construction translates directly into peace of mind, knowing your equipment won´t fail when you need it most. Furthermore, its intelligent design promotes effortless operation, reducing friction and allowing the sail to furl and unfurl with minimal effort from the cockpit, a true advantage for single-handed sailors or those with a small crew.

Main Features
* Aerodynamic Round Profile: The foil features a unique round shape, a departure from traditional flat designs. This profile is engineered for superior strength and ease of rolling, significantly reducing the effort required to furl the sail.
* Double-Groove Design: Equipped with two grooves, this foil allows for rapid sail changes, a feature prized in club racing and essential for cruisers who carry multiple headsails. You can hoist a new sail in the second groove before dropping the old one, ensuring no loss of performance or control.
* Seamless Section Integration: Each foil section is designed to connect securely and precisely with the next, creating a single, continuous extrusion. This eliminates snagging points and ensures the sail slides smoothly up and down the stay during hoisting and dousing.

Wings

The system´s sail feeder is an essential part of smooth hoisting. Its carefully shaped, wing-like guides ensure the sail luff tape is directed cleanly and accurately into the foil groove every time. This "Wings" feature prevents jams and frustrating delays, making the process of raising the headsail fast, efficient, and trouble-free.
