Seldén Double Fairlead
The Seldén Double Fairlead makes for a quick and easy set up of the gennaker or Code 0 furler. As these furlers are always handled with an endless furling line, spliced together in a continuous loop, ordinary blocks cannot be used to lead the line back to the cockpit. Seldén Double Fairlead consist of a composite bracket fitted to a 25 mm or 30 mm stanchion and a spring loaded "push-and-twist" bale in stainless steel. Easy to open to attach the line and just as easy to close. The Double Fairlead prevents the line to get tangled up and the smooth stainless bale prevents friction.
Recommended retail price is €50 excl VAT. Seldén part number is 480-501-01R.

Furlex Electric goes large!
In spring 2007 Seldén Mast launched two push button jib furling systems, Furlex 200 Electric and 300 Electric. Both were an instantly success and a big hit with sailors. To push a button is a convenient way to furl the sail and means one less rope in the cockpit. One of the best features is the ability to retro-fit the electric drive to a normal manual Furlex so upgrading to easier sail handling is simple and cost effective.
Seldén strike gold in Beijing
Two teams sail to victory in Beijing using Seldén spars. The conditions for the event were difficult, as expected, making it impossible for any of the favourites to be guaranteed a medal.
In the Yngling class the British trio of Sarah Ayton, Sarah Webb and Pippa Wilson took gold with a 13-point lead over their nearest rivals. Seldén has worked closely with the girls over the past four years having supplied masts to Ayton and Webb when they sailed with Shirley Robertson.

Now, with the Furlex 200E (Electric), Seldén is offering the luxury of push-button sailing for somewhat smaller yachts. The Furlex 200E (Electric) is intended for boats with a forestay diameter of 6 - 8 mm, i.e. yachts of about 30 ft and over.

Backstay flicker
Freeing the roach with Seldén’s backstay flicker
In recent years, sailmakers have increasingly been designing mainsails with a bigger roach than the mast is designed for. Seldén has a solution to this problem for fractionally rigged boats.
New electric powered furling masts from Seldén
Furling the mainsail into the mast has become more or less standard on new cruising boats. The global mastmanufacturer Seldén, the established provider of this concept, is now launching a new generation of electric driven furling masts.
