We have developed our own computer controlled manu-facturing method in which prepreg (pre-impregnated)
tows are wound onto a mandrel (cylinder) prior to oven
curing. This method enables us to exercise full control
over every stage of the manufacturing process and gua-
rantee products of consistently high quality. One of the
big advantages of this Seldén production method is that
it enables us to achieve sufficient durability in the areas
subject to the greatest loads and wear. Seldén carbon spinnaker poles
