The STANDARD KF8.0 is a furler that can withstand a workload of 8 T. It is intended for sailboats from 55 to 65 feet. The KF8.0 is a Karver furler of 3rd generation. It is fitted as standard with a carbon / Kevlar® continuous line wheel, a reinforced ABS casing protected by K Krok protection, our 2 in 1 K Snap snap shackle, our remote locking system for the continuous line wheel and a swivel also protected by our K Krok impact-resistant protection. The drum and the swivel are fitted with a lashing eye as standard. There are many options available to make it unique and perfectly suited to your needs.


The STANDARD KF8.0 is delivered with a drum and its swivel. It allows furling in complete safety from the cockpit of complementary so-called “flying” sails such as a gennaker, a code 0, a staysail, etc… It is also possible to store an asymmetric spinnaker by equipping it with our KTS adapter.


For more than 15 years, Karver has been shaking up the market by regularly offering new innovations. We are at the origin of the remote locking systems of the continuous line wheel, of the system of quick furling line installation, captive fast pins, friction sheaves with fast pins, carbon drums, … and we are above all recognized for offering the lightest and most compact furlers on the market. This is the reason why we are very present aboard offshore racing yachts and aboard the most efficient yachts such as the Imocas which are equipped with more than 70% of our furlers.
This 3rd Karver’s generation of furlers definitely places them in a pioneering position.

Weight: 2.52kg

Boat Size: 50-60ft

Working Load: 8000kgs

Breaking Load: 16000kgs 

Major innovations :
– Patented carbon & Kevlar continuous line wheel > Resistance, better grip, less wear, aesthetics, weight gain, customization possibilities. The weight gain linked to the use of carbon has allowed us to strengthen more essential mechanical elements.
– Karver Snap (K Snap) 2 in 1> 2: 1 friction sheave + snap shackle > Very compact & resistant. The only snap shackle on the market to actually hold the full load. The friction sheave will be particularly useful to position your furler on a bowsprit in complete safety.
– The K Kroks are silicone impact-resistant protectors that we have installed as standard on the ABS casings and the swivels of the Standard, Classic and Structural versions. These new ergonomic protections will effectively protect the boat (hull, deck, mast, etc, ..) and the furler itself.
– Aesthetics : Black range, carbon, mirror polished stainless steel, hard anodization of aluminum.

Other new features :
– Wide continuous line wheel available for KF1.5, KF3.0 : More torque for less effort and more power….
– New opening system for captive fast pins that are more ergonomic, more reliable and easier to clean.
– Replacing the swivel shackles with lashing eyes. More compact, lighter and more resistant.
– Possibility to add a wood veneer on the continuous line wheel and / or on the carbon housing
– Always more performance :
o Lighter (carbon)
o More compact (K Snap and lashing swivel eyes)
o More resistant (carbon)
o Easier to use (new low friction bearings / new fast pins / Snap)
o Easier to maintain (new design )
– Reinforcement of the remote locking system of the continuous line wheel. Possibility of not ordering this standard accessory.
– Definitely the best quality / price ratio on the market

Karver standards kept
– Automatic “loosening” of the furling line when it is not under tension : limits wear, avoids burning your fingers.
– Quick installation of the furling line (Karver invention since 2003!)
– Standard delivery of the automatic lock that can be dismantled in a few seconds (Karver invention since 2011… criticized by all our competitors… and now imitated by all !
– List of XXLong accessories including carbon housing, KTS, cableless, 3: 1 friction sheaves, optional 2:1 blocks, clamps, etc, …

Student Review
This book is an excellent introduction to the basic principles of insurance. We used this text as a supplement in our Intro to Act. Sci. class. It is very readable, easy to understand. Minimal mathematics required, some basic calculus concepts used, but only briefly. Don't let it's small size fool ya, it has plenty of information in there.

A #MustRead for cybersecurity practitioners
Format: Kindle
Rick Howard's latest book is the ultimate reference for cybersecurity practitioners, making it an essential read for anyone in the field. With his straightforward and refreshingly irreverent writing style, coupled with his profound technical knowledge, Rick has created a narrative that is easy to understand and grasp. He delves into the foundational aspect of cybersecurity, which he refers to as the cybersecurity first principle, which he then it to specific high-impact strategies. The book has eight well-written chapters providing a comprehensive overview of those strategies. Importantly, Rick then offers an up-to-date and thorough exploration of the complementary capabilities (tactical-level tools) that can be utilized to "reduce the probability of material impact due to a cyber event" - the cyber first principle. In the concluding chapter, Rick succinctly summarizes his contribution to the field, stating, "And that's it. Those are all the tools you need to design, build, and enhance a cybersecurity program based on first principle thinking." This assertion highlights the value of his book as a practical guide for designing and improving cybersecurity programs with a focus on first principles.

Absolute must read if you oversee any portion of a cyber security program!
Format: Paperback
I loved this book. The concepts and ideas presented are a great wake up call for an industry that is so focused on blinking light hardware and the next big technological thing...this book challenges the paradigm that you need to strip your security culture down to some very core ideas...then build a solid security program around your security first principle(s). Without that core idea, you're just throwing away money on tools that may not actually be addressing your root needs. Great read for anyone looking to rethink their security program, security culture, and security spend. BRAVO!

Context, Strategies and Wisdom in a single package
Format: Kindle
This was my first book I have read by this particular author. I had spent some time looking for a comphrensive approach to Cyber Security and found many other texts to be lacking. Certain aspects are well documented, but no single source that brought it all together. This is exactly what First Principles brings to the table. As a practicioner that looks for better ways to formulate the objectives of SecOps Use Cases I have found the methods presented in this book to be immensely helpful. I have also given copies aways as a gifts to students who are just entering the field as this is by far the best intro to the long history of Cyber Security that combines the best direction for the future. The historical context that the author brings through first hand experience is beyond a treasure trove. It has been said many times in cheezy ads, but honestly, if you only read one book on Cyber Security make it this one.
