Rodkicker rigid vang XBH XBH End-fitting The rounded end-fitting, with enclosed sheave and recessed split pin, is designed to avoid snagging sails or crew. Operation from mast. Operation from cockpit. Choosing the right size The choice is based mainly on the righting moment of the yacht, a measure of its ability to carry sail.
This is approximately proportional to displacement. The second input is the rig type (masthead or fractional). The table below shows the correct type for monohulls. Gas springs are available in a range of strengths, to
cover variations in boom weight (including the stowed sail) and the Rodkicker angle. The angle varies with gooseneck height and kicker length. If in doubt, ask your dealer for more information. Art.

W = 12 Extrusion The inner extrusion end plug acts as an easy-slide bushing and prevents metal to
metal contact. The upper sliding bearing
also acts as an elastic buffer to dampen
the shock if the kicker suddenly bottoms. Seldén Rodkicker makes it easier to trim and reef your mainsail. Easily installed, easily operated Gas spring The extended block attachment lug allows the block to turn, enabling the tackle to
be operated from either port or starboard.
The Rodkicker is supplied with detailed instructions and is easily fitted. If a Rod-kicker is retrofitted to an existing rig, the original kicking strap tackle can still be used. Seldén Rodkickers are made of anodised aluminium and are carefully tested to meet
stringent quality and performance standards. The Rodkicker can be supplied with an optional integral gas spring. This lifts the
boom when the kicking strap is released,
opening the leech of the sail. A Rodkicker
with a gas spring replaces the topping lift, making reefing fast and simple. The gas spring is easily
retrofitted to a Rodkicker that does not have a spring.
A Seldén Rodkicker facilitates sail handling when reefing, preventing the boom from dropping into the cockpit or onto the coach roof. When fitted with
a Seldén gas spring, it lifts the boom when the kicking strap is released.
Excellent for trimming the main in light air. The Seldén Rodkicker also doubles the purchase of your kicking strap. CØ BAWØ TS * Kicking strap tackle not included. 8283
