Product catalog summary
Introduction
Seldén carbon fibre masts are a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern production technology, designed for high performance and speed in sailing.

Design and Production
The masts are designed using finite element analysis and extensive engineering experience. The unique Mandrel Filament Moulding (MFM) process is automated and computer-controlled, ensuring precision and efficiency, resulting in a distinctive 'Viper' pattern.

Product Range
Seldén produces over 400 carbon masts annually, along with booms, poles, and bow sprits for various boats, including high-performance skiffs and prestigious cruising yachts.

Performance Benefits
Carbon composites offer stiffness and strength with low weight, enhancing longitudinal stiffness and allowing increased forestay tension, which improves upwind performance.

Technical Specifications
The document includes a detailed table of mast specifications, listing dimensions, stiffness (Ely, Elx), wall thickness, weight, and section modulus (Wy, Wx) for various models.

UV Protection
Black pigment in the epoxy provides UV protection, with additional protection and aesthetic preservation offered by clear varnish or paint.

CARBON MASTS-3

Seldén carbon spars For everyone who cannot resist speed Carbon composite combines stiffness and strength with low weight. Seldén lowweight carbon spars have accentuated longitudinal stiffness. This means that forestay tension can be substantially increased. All experienced racing sailors know what this means in terms of increased upwind performance. The combination of greater stiffness and reduced weight will bring you beyond the speed limits.
