Karver Systems

We design performance, innovative & modern design deck and mast hardware for all sailing yachts (Racing, Cruising & Super Yachts). Since our creation in 2004, we have always devoted a very important part of our time and our profits to the research and development of our products.

Driven by a common passion for sailing, a team of engineers and naval architects associated with manufacturers have created Karver Systems. A few years later, Karver has been improving sailboat performance at both Grand Prix and recreational levels outfitting every day sailors from Optimists to Superyachts.

In close collaboration with the racing teams involved in the America’s Cup, the Vendée Globe but also extraordinary Ultims, we have acquired our letters of nobility with furlers and their integrated halyard hook system. Very quickly the first round block appeared, then the high load jammer, followed those last years by the mast equipment and 4-speed winches.

Lighter, more compact, more resistant, less friction, less maintenance, more practical… KARVER deck equipment applies to all our customers because everyone finds their interest: weight and friction are of interest to racers and boaters for different reasons. Some are looking for saving weight and a low coefficient of friction to go faster when others are satisfied with the level of comfort while taking advantage of the potential gains in speed.

Located in Honfleur (Normandy, France), the company earned its credits supplying Code sail furlers, locking systems and lashing blocks to round the world solo racers, Volvo VOR70 teams, ORMA Trimaran in addition to America’s Cup Syndicates. Throughout the years, Karver applied its experience gained in supplying racing gear to Superyacht and cruising boats making sailing safer and easier.
