Mast feet and heel-1

Mast feet and heel The range of super-light, carbon-friendly mast heel and adaptors are designed for use on all Seldén dinghy mast extrusions. Three types of interchangeable mast heel – standard, hinging and multi-sheave, have been designed to work alongside a series of section adaptors. The new range reduces the number of mast heel that stockists need to hold, and makes for easier installation and retrofitting. A feature of the new mast heel is the slight radius on the bearing surface to help spread the load of the mast and ensure a constant load distribution through the full range of rake. A locating notch has been incorporated into the design as an aid when stepping the mast, and an A-line is used on all fittings to help guarantee perfect alignment between the heel and mast section. Injection moulded from an advanced composite, the new mast heel and adaptors are significantly lighter in weight than aluminium ones, have high shear strength and are very durable. Unlike the more traditional alloy mast heel, this new range does not react with carbon. Seldén can also provide a rotating mast solution. Manufactured from cast aluminium, it works with the same range of section adaptors, and is ideal for stayed, rotating masts. Simple interchangeable sheave option. Adaptor system allows standard heel fittings to suit all sections.
