Cable conduits ?
Easy to operate Accessible There is an outhaul line for rolling out the sail, and an endless line for rolling it in. It?s as simple as it sounds.
Or if you wish, you can operate the sail at the mast using
a
winch handle. The geared reefing winch mechanism
runs on ball bearings, so it takes little effort to roll in the
sail. Greasing holes in the mast facilitate maintenance. Two oval holes on the port side of the mast allow for easy access to the tack attachment, sail feed, tensioning
screw and halyard swivel. Just remove the composite
covers and the rest speaks for itself. You can inspect the halyard swivel and carry out annual maintenance through the upper access hole. >
Sail guide (optional) Guide flange Absorbs all sail forces The outhaul cars are fitted with horizontal and vertical wheels, enabling them to absorb forces from every
direction. Turning block for control lines >
Spare luff groove Sail slot ???
Turning blocks at the base of the mast are designed to enable the ready-spliced, endless line to be easily threaded into position. Seldén deck blocks have the same feature. The Seldén furling principle The wide sail slot allows for vertical battens and a positive roach of the
main sail. The actual sail slot is placed asymmetrically to reduce furling resistance and to lead the
sail straight on to the internal luff extrusion.The furling system is based on Seldén?s proven technology. Geared line driver winch, tensioned luff extrusion, asymmetrically located sail slot and the patented load distribu-
tor of the halyard swivel. All to make furling an easy and fast operation. The Seldén
furling masts come with twin cable conduits, enabling the cables to run freely and well
protected from all running
rigging. The cable conduits also facilitate cable replacement. Spare luff groove The furling masts incorporate an additional luff groove for a spare mainsail. The extra luff groove will also accept a foresail fitted with the correct luff tape. >
