ENGINEERED FOR OVERSIZED RIGGING AND BOW CONFIGURATIONS.
The Reefit Tasman 160 is engineered for substantial production cruising yachts requiring a beefier 16mm clevis pin configuration without stepping up to an oversized, heavy offshore drum assembly. It is highly versatile, perfectly accommodating both 8mm and 10mm forestay wires. This makes it a favorite for blue-water sailors looking to upgrade their rigging wire size for safety while keeping their deck hardware streamlined and easy to operate shorthand.

What’s In The Box
Every Reefit Tasman 160 kit is shipped as a comprehensive, ready-to-assemble marine system:
Lower Drum Unit: High-capacity drum with open-race Torlon bearing assembly for instant salt flushing.
Halyard Swivel: High-load, smooth-rotating overhead slider block designed to prevent halyard wrap.
Interlocking Foil Extrusions: Robust 2-metre aluminium twin-groove segments, pre-machined for seamless structural alignment.
Internal Joiners & Fasteners: Structural internal sleeves and a complete set of marine-grade stainless fasteners.
Sail Feeder & Top Cap: Integrated entry guides for smooth, snag-free sail hoisting and top torque protection.
DIY Installation Manual: Step-by-step illustrated guide written in plain, practical language.
What You Will Need to Supply: Your existing or new forestay wire, a standard 8mm or 10mm low-stretch furling line, and deck lead blocks to route the line back to your cockpit.
⚠️ Important Sizing Note: The Tasman 160 covers a broad wire range (8mm–10mm). Please state your exact wire size in the order notes or email us at sails@reefitsystems.com.au so we can include any custom adapter bushings required for your bow tang.
Shipping & Installation
Free Shipping: We include delivery to most Australian locations at no extra charge.
DIY-Friendly Design: Shipped in manageable, 2-metre boxes. Perfect for handy boat owners to assemble on the hard or directly at the marina berth without requiring specialised rigging swaging presses.
Foil Kit Ordering Rule: You must select a foil kit to match your rig. Measure your forestay length pin-to-pin and round up to the next available 2-metre increment.
Available Foil Kit Options: 10m | 12m | 14m | 16m | 18m | 20m
