Harken Carbo Racing Foil Protective Chafe Guard

Harken Carbo Racing Foil Protective Chafe Guard

The engineering resins in these strong, lightweight head foils offer significant advancements over the weaker PVC materials used by other manufacturers. The low-friction twin headsail grooves are ultra-smooth, allowing hoists, douses and headsail changes to be easily and efficiently executed. Impact resistance is unmatched, with far less foil damage from loaded spinnaker poles, expecially in cold weather. Heat has little effect on stiffness.

Foils are UV-protected and easy for the trimmer to see. For mast-up installation, simply uncoil the foil and snap onto the headstay.

Aluminum Chafe Guard

An aluminum chafe guard keeps spinnaker sheets from damaging the foil during high-speed jibes. Testing shows that this guard weighs the same as aramid fiber or composite, and it is impervious to wear, unlike UHMW plastic tape, which wears away quickly.
