NEW KARVER PRODUCTS (METS 2024)
Most marine equipment manufacturers take advantage of the international METSTRADE show in Amsterdam to unveil their new products. We are no exception:
The KJS12 is Karver’s first clutch designed for intermediate loads (600 kg to 2,000 kg working load). It was created to be installed on all cruising sailboats and is a serious competitor to all other clutches on the market. It complements our high-load clutch range (KJC).
The KJS12 has won the prestigious Dame Award 2024 innovation prize in the deck hardware category.

The KBS blocks are our first “all sailors” blocks.
Like the KRS furlers and KJS clutches, the KBS blocks have been designed with the following priorities:
Products suited to the load requirements of the most common cruising sailboats
Controlled and competitive pricing compared to our competitors
More and better than others, with the promise that our products carry our full DNA
Eco-designed products to reduce their environmental impact
The choice of stainless steel dir casting may seem surprising, but it is an obvious material and process choice when conducting eco-design analyses.

All our winches are now available in a miror polished stainless steel version.
And if you’re not familiar with our winches yet, it’s high time you took a closer look.
Reminder:
– The KSW (SPEED) range is a 4-speed automatic winch (no buttons, no electricity, no electronics) where the first two speeds are exceptionally fast: 6 times faster than a winch of the same size. The last two speeds are EXACTLY the same as your usual winch.
– The KPW (POWER) range is a 4-speed winch where the first two speeds are the same as your usual winch, but the last two speeds are so highly geared that you exert three times less effort. A true revolution that becomes a real alternative to electric winches. This model has a real “Wow” effect, making sailing accessible to everyone.
The 4-speed winches are available in three sizes: 40, 46, and 52.
– The KCW (or Compact) range is a more traditional 2-speed winch with surprising performance: the first speed is twice as fast as a size 46 winch, and the second speed has a 1:45 ratio, while the winch’s size is comparable to a size 30.
The stainless steel finish allows these high-end winches to fit seamlessly into more traditional and modern/classic sailboats.

Our anti-twist swivels help reduce or eliminate issues with doubled halyards twisting on themselves, which can lead to sails getting stuck at the masthead.
These swivels are equipped with the same bearings as our furling swivels, ensuring compactness, lightness, and low friction.
Currently available in 1.5 T and 3.0 T working load versions.

When you’re a specialist in clutches and offer the most revolutionary manual winches on the market, it’s only natural to provide high-performance deflectors that streamline deck layouts and properly align ropes with the winches.
Our first two models are made of titanium, with 1.5 T and 3.0 T working load capacities.

The 10th edition of the Vendée Globe has started in November 2024. 40 skippers will sail around the world alone. 100 % of the boats have Karver products on boards. This edition, 125 KFH Karver furling locks have been installed and more than 140 KJC high load jammers!
We made a lot of small modifications on our Imocas offer but the most appreciated is our set of colored and efficient protection called K-Krocs.
Another one is our new KFH11T SWL racing furling lock. Full titanium.
