Elevate your sailing performance and achieve a cleaner, more efficient sail plan with the HARKEN ESP Unit 2 Leg Kit. This essential piece of fitting hardware is meticulously engineered for sailors who demand precision, reliability, and optimized aerodynamics. Designed specifically for the Harken ESP Unit 2 furling system, this kit allows you to customize your setup for maximum advantage, particularly when looking to enhance upwind pointing ability and overall speed.

This short leg kit is the perfect solution for lowering the furling drum, bringing the tack of your headsail closer to the deck. By reducing the distance between the sail and the deck, you effectively lower the sail´s center of effort, which contributes to reduced heeling and a more stable, comfortable ride. This lower profile not only improves performance but also significantly enhances forward visibility from the cockpit, a crucial safety benefit whether you are cruising with family or navigating a crowded racecourse. The streamlined and uncluttered look it provides for your foredeck is a welcome aesthetic bonus.

The kit includes all the necessary high-strength components, including robust links and connection points. The integrated design ensures a seamless fit with your existing Harken ESP Unit 2 furler, maintaining the system´s integrity and strength. Installation is straightforward for its intended application.

A short leg kit adjusts the drum height.

Choose the short leg extension kit when the furler attaches directly to a marine eye at the bottom of the stay.

Short legs allow the sail to be closer to the deck.

Use without turnbuckle.

This configuration is ideal for modern rigging setups where the headstay connects directly to a deck fitting or toggle, eliminating the need for a conventional turnbuckle at the base of the furler. By integrating directly, you create a stronger, more direct link and reduce potential points of failure. Trust in Harken´s legacy of world-class marine hardware to upgrade your furling system for better performance and a more professional finish.
