Update

Following an intensive development programme taking advantage of input from top Soling sailors and sailmakers on each side of the Atlantic, the Seldén Soling Boom is indisputably both sailors and sailmakers first choice.

A combination of the expected Seldén quality and consistency, plus attention to detail on specialist fittings, combines top performance with ease of use.

Soling Spinnaker poles are from our new weld free drawn tapered tube, 63 mm complete with alloy pole ends.

Specification includes:

• Section custom designed around class rules.
• Internal sleeve in vang area for maximum stiffness.
• Outboard end cutaway behind black band, with stiffening sleeve, for maximum clearance with no loss of control.
• Vang wire attached internally.
• Custom brackets for pole stowage.
• Angled centre mainsheet bail.
• Ball bearing internal outhaul.
• Choice of single or twin mainsheet layout.

Why Seldén?

Choose a Seldén mast and you will find many performance enhancing features unique to our products, for example:

• The Seldén tapering system ensures that our tapers are minimum size and weight. This gives low windage, centre of gravity and topmast weight. This maximises your speed by enabling the topmast to react quickly to gusts and waves giving better acceleration, a smoother ride upwind and, ultimately, more races won!
• Automated welding keeps excess heat out of the taper for guaranteed consistency and performance. The weld produced is so perfect that there is no need to mechanically grind the weld (which can induce inconsistencies). This means that once we have finalised a winning design, you can be sure that your spar will perform identically to the champions.
• All masts are heat treated in our purpose-designed oven. This artificial hardening ensures that you get maximum performance from the high performance aluminium alloy.
• Our spars pass through a purpose-developed bead-peening machine. This gives the mast a perfect satin finish that dramatically improves fatigue properties, giving you a mast that will perform reliably for many years.
• Top quality fittings such as our fully adjustable spreader bracket and highly durable cast gooseneck ensure speed and reliability on the racecourse.
