Right from the start Seldén was founded in 1960 and it has grown from a small company into the world leader, with manufacturing in Europe, the USA and Asia. Precise, meticulous work has always been a characteristic of Seldén. Our manufacturing methods, tools and instruments have been specially developed to meet the demands of large-scale, cost-effective, quality production and the high demands of sailors around the world. However, we still carry out the same heeling tests as we did back in 1965. We started by doing things in the right way, and that is how we have continued. Heeling test in 1965....

Give us the facts The key to a correct rig calculation is the quality of the input data at our disposal. This data consists of hard facts, plus what we can learn by listening very carefully when talking to the customer. The “Seldén Rig Fact sheet” has proven to be a simple and effective way of gathering all the facts required to calculate the mast, boom and standing rigging. It is where you note the data on the envisaged type of rigging, the main dimensions of the sail plan, the location of the chain­­ plates and the righting moment of the boat (or the correct information to help us calculate...

Leaders in every detail Every Seldén rig is carefully thought out, down to the last detail. All the way from the materials and functions of the different parts of the rig, to dimensioning the right rig for each individual boat. Each individual component contributes to the performance of the whole rig. That is the Seldén way – experienced yachtsmen behind every aspect of design, product development and production. 6

Mast sections C-sections and F-sections Loads generated by the crew (mainsheet, vang, outhaul, Cunning­ am etc.) are transferred to h the mainsail and on to the mast. As the mainsail is designed according to the expected curve of the mast, a longitudinally stiff mast allows for less luff curve of the sail. Instead, this sail area can be added to the roach of the sail, where it is subjected to the wind and more efficient. The longitudinal rigidity of the mast section makes for higher forestay load created by tensioning the backstay. Running backstays can often be avoided. The risk of mast pumping...

Major diameter (211 mm) Mast section measurements are given as follows: Major diameter/Minor diameter (i.e. 211/110). This will help identification and the use of correct measurements. The major diameter of the mast can usually be found in the number engraved at the mast heel. For example K23-C211-4475.

Seldén carbon fibre masts – the perfect mix of craftsmanship and modern production technology

MORE SPEED WITH FAST FIBRES • NC controlled winding of carbon fibre filaments on C a rotating mandrel. Winding angles between 5-90°. Produces a seamless, uniform quality tube. • anual lamination of 0° carbon fibre pre-preg tows M for optimal mast stiffness. Localised reinforcement of carbon fibre tows at high load areas. • aminate with maximum fibre content makes the L mast stiff and light. • lack pigment in the epoxy protects against UV B radiation. Preserves mast appearance. • fter winding, spars are cured under heat (134° C) A and pressure (7 bar) in an autoclave to provide a compact laminate...
