Seldén?s unique load distributor Low friction The asymmetric design and large radius edges of the slot reduce sail friction,
making it much easier to roll the sail
in and out. The sail groove on the luff
extrusion is located asymmetrically
to help the sail furl easily around the
extrusion. In addition, the rotating luff
extrusion is tensioned and fitted with
ball bearings top and bottom. This
reduces friction between the sail and the inside of the sail compartment. The furling mechanism rotates easily even under high load. This is largely due
to the unique bearing system in the
halyard swivel, which was originally developed for the Furlex jib furling system. The cleverly designed load distributor has three fulcrums, distributing the load
over the entire bearing race and all the
bearings, rather than over small areas of
the race. The Seldén load distributor prevents?? point loading! Asymmetric sail slot wide enough for vertical battens.
Extra long guide flange. Optional sail guide for sails
with horisontal battens. The Seldén furling masts come with twin cable conduits, enabling the cables to run freely and well protected from
all running rigging. 94
