They push the clew of the sail further outboard, opening the slot between the headsail and the mainsail to maximize airflow and therefore drive from the sails, while allowing the crew to maintain optimal sail shape through sheet tension.<\/p>\n<p>These systems have grown in popularity since the 2014-2015 Volvo Ocean Race, where they were standard equipment on all of the boats, but are now found on many high performance yachts including grand prix boats like the IRC72 fleet. They are particularly favoured by offshore boats, such as\u00a0<em>Comanche<\/em>\u00a0and the Kerr 56\u00a0<em>Varuna<\/em>\u00a0as they pay bigger dividends over longer periods of time.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Carbon Headfoil&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;carbon-headfoil&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-297 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/southernspars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/CF.jpg\" alt=\"carbon headfoil\" width=\"450\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southernspars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/CF.jpg 450w, https:\/\/southernspars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/CF-300x177.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Southern Spars\u2019 Carbon Foil range of headstay foils for furling jibs and genoas are a step ahead of the competition in their design and build quality.

Tapering the joins between our foil sections ensures the best possible quality of join between sections and transferring torque more efficiently across the system.<\/p>\n<p>The carbon track internal section profile has created a stronger section to withstand the luff loads generated from the sail. The polished stainless steel feeder provides reliable hoisting of the headsail and reduces the chance of damage to the luff tape.<\/p>\n<p>For more information please contact one of our RigPro representatives on <a href=\"mailto:RigProNZ@southernspars.com\">RigProNZ@southernspars.com<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;tdash&#8221;] Custom Ancillaries [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Southern Spars can produce carbon components\u00a0like reaching struts, bow sprits, spinnaker poles and other rig ancillaries using custom and stock tooling as well as mandrel technology.
