Carbo Racing Foil

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. A Harken chafe guard is included free with the purchase of a 7000, 7001 or 7002 kit.

Feeder for Smooth Hoists
Funnel-shaped stainless feeder smoothly guides boltrope into head foil for fast hoists.

Prefeeder (included with kit) Hardkote-anodized, PTFE-impregnated aluminum rollers spin freely on low-friction bushings.
