Mast climbing steps
? for extra climbing safety Trysail system Mast climbing steps are an easily fitted safety feature. Seldén mast climbing steps are available as fixed steps (an outer guard wire can be used for extra safety) or as foldable climbing steps. The well-rounded shape of the foldable steps reduces windage and sail chafe. In stormy weather, when your 2nd or 3rd reef of the mainsail just isn?t enough, the way to go is with a trysail.
A trysail is a loose-footed, fairly flat sail made from heavy
sailcloth, but with a luff length and foot length considera-
bly shorter than your regular mainsail. It is hoisted on a
separate track, independent of the normal luff groove.
The trysail track is fitted off-centre on the aft side of the
mast and runs all the way to deck level. That way you can
always have your trysail fitted to the track, ready to be used. Always use a safety harness when working aloft. Trysail Climbing steps, fixed Climbing steps, foldable Art.

Sheeting points should be according
to the illustration. If trysail luff length is not available from the yacht designer, our general
recommendation is that the trysail
should reach 55-65% of the foretri-
angle height. The track should end
approximately 0.5 m below checkstays/
runner attachments, if any.We recommend fitting three sliders at the head and tack of the sail
(c/c 50 mm), remaining sliders to be fitted c/c 400 mm.Seldén Silicone lubricant (Art. No. 312-506) can be used on the track to
minimise friction. 50 mm (2")50 mm (2")400 mm (16") Hint: With a foldable mast step 0.5 m up from deck, it will be a lot easier to attach the halyard to the head
of the mainsail. Trysail with track gate, tack attachment,
sliders and fasteners. Art. No. 515-525-31. Cutter stay spreader hook Cutter stay stowage bracket Keeping your cutter stay ready for immediate use is a sensible precaution. But just having it dangling around is
not very practical or convenient. With a Seldén cutter stay
spreader hook mounted on the spreader, and a cutter stay
stowage bracket mounted on the mast, your cutter stay
will always be ready for use, stand-by secured by its pelican
hook (or similar) to a deck bracket. Safely out of the way
until you actually need it! Cutter stay spreader hook,
