Mast bases & Deck rings

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines technical specifications and installation procedures for Seldén's T-base and deck ring systems, designed for both conventional and furling mast sections. These systems aim to streamline deck operations and efficiently manage halyards.
Specifications: The T-base and deck ring systems are compatible with Seldén's mast sections, featuring integrated block fastenings. The T-base allows for easy block rearrangement by removing a stainless steel shaft, with a two-piece shaft option for narrow decks. The deck ring system includes a mast wedging system for keel-stepped masts, with adjustable tie rods for secure mast positioning.
Procedures: For keel-stepped masts, the forward composite wedge is removed during mast stepping and refitted to secure the mast. The T-base can be adjusted longitudinally with the mast in place to achieve desired prebend and rake. The mast jack system uses a hydraulic cylinder to adjust rig tension, featuring a two-stage pump for ease of use.
Components and Accessories: The document lists components such as mast sections, block axles, tie rods, and mast coats, along with part numbers. It details the mast jack system components, including the hydraulic cylinder, pump, and hose garage.
Technical Specifications: Technical data on system pressure, working load, and mast extrusion compatibility are provided, including part numbers for aluminum and carbon mast extrusions, pumps, T-bases, and tie rod kits.
Recommendations: Emphasizes securing the deck to the mast in keel-stepped configurations to prevent lifting forces from halyards. Suggests using rubber wedges and tie rods to stabilize the mast within the deck ring.
Tables and Charts: Contains tables listing part numbers and dimensions for components like mast sections, block axles, and sheaves, providing a quick reference for selecting appropriate parts for specific mast configurations.
Additional Specifications: Includes sizes and dimensions for mast sections, deck rings, and wedgings, with specific measurements in millimeters. Provides part numbers and dimensions for rubber components used in wedgings and hose clips.
Assembly Instructions: Detailed instructions for assembling mast coats and wedgings, including specific part numbers and configurations for different mast sizes. Instructions for the deck ring system for keel-stepped furling masts, highlighting features like the chocking system, internal sealing, and tie-rod system.
Additional Recommendations: Offers guidance on component use, such as avoiding certain rails for genoa/main/spinnaker if RM exceeds 43 kNm, and notes on integration limitations for certain mast sections.
Key Data from Tables: Lists various mast sections with corresponding part numbers and dimensions, and provides part numbers and dimensions for deck ring systems, including configurations for larger keel-stepped masts.

Mast bases & Deck rings-1

Keel-stepped and deck-stepped masts, C-sections and F-sections The T-base and deck ring systems are made to fit both Seldén’s conventional mast sections and their matching furling sections. They are also made to create deck order among halyards. The blocks are fastened to the T-base or deck ring with a removable stainless steel shaft, which makes it easy to rearra­ ge the blocks. The deck ring n incorporates a state-of-the-art mast wedging system. Eyes for halyard stowage T-base for deck-stepped masts with integrated block fastenings. Just remove stainless steel shaft to fit up to eight blocks. A two-piece shaft is available for narrow deck layouts.

Keel-stepped masts, C-sections and F-sections The deck ring system for keel-stepped masts has a multipurpose design. The forward composite wedge with rubber chocking is removed while bringing the mast through the deck ring. When refitted and tightened it slides down/aft and secures the mast. The tie rod has four fixed settings, each with plenty of leeway for adjustment. The T-base for keel-stepped masts can be adjusted longitudinally (fore-and-aft) with the mast still in place. Just ease off the rigging and turn the adjusting screw of the T-base until the required prebend and rake are achieved....

Mast jack system A mast jack from Seldén ensures that you always retain the right rig tension for racing. It also lets you relieve the load on the rig and boat when you are in port. The mast jack system consists of a hydraulic cylinder located inside the mast. The cylinder piston moves down vertically through the heel of the mast to a steel plate in the boat’s T-base, thereby lifting the mast and increasing the tension. In order to make it easier to jack up the mast, the system includes a two-stage pump that switches to its lower gear as the pressure increases. When the mast reaches its upper...

Deck ring system for keel-stepped conventional masts, E-sections and D-sections Internal seal Lead block Mast coat When the mast is keel-stepped, it is important to secure the deck to the mast, especially when the halyards are led via turning blocks attached to the deck ring. Otherwise, the lifting force of the halyards could lift the deck. Seldén traditional deck ring incorporates a “tie-rod system” to eliminate this lifting action. Rubber wedges are used to fix the mast in the deck ring. Rails and halyard eyes are available as extras. Hose clip Support fitting (certain sections only) Rubber...
