Harken will unveil its Superyacht Furling Systems as a world premiere at METSTRADE 2026, alongside compact powered winches and electric actuators designed to reduce onboard hydraulic infrastructure.
The marine hardware specialist is exhibiting at stand 12.520 during the Amsterdam trade show, which runs from 17 to 19 November at RAI Amsterdam.
The Superyacht Furling Systems range includes above- and below-deck furlers, textile and staysail furlers, swivels and controls. Harken announced the premiere on 11 November.
For recreational and club racing sailors, Harken is showing its UniPower 500 and 900 AD winches—the company's first powered winches using brushless motors. The motor sits inside the drum to reduce below-deck space requirements, and the winches support 12V, 24V and 48V systems. These models were previously announced for the Genoa boat show in October.
The 57 mm Performance Zircon Cat Mainsheet System offers 10:1, 11:1 and 12:1 purchases using six 40 mm upper sheaves and three vertically stacked 57 mm Zircon lower sheaves for larger diameter mainsheets.
Harken's Moving Solutions range includes 48V rotary and linear actuators and a 24V electric locking pin. The rotary actuator, which has received a DAME Design Award 2026 nomination, combines a brushless permanent magnet motor with a cycloidal gearbox. Harken says it can replace much of the local hydraulic infrastructure for functions such as balconies, swim platforms, tender garage doors and boarding systems. Features include IP67 protection, an electric brake, reverse torque protection and manual backup. The DAME winner will be announced on METSTRADE 2026 opening day.
The display also includes Ether blocks, titanium padeyes in five sizes with working loads from 3 to 16 tonnes, aperture rings, and multilayer captive winches designated 1.0T, 1.5T and 2.0T. These products also appeared at the Genoa show.
