A new range of super light, ‘carbon-friendly’ mast feet and adaptors for use on all Seldén dinghy mast extrusions. Two types of inter changeable mast feet; standard and multi-sheave, have been designed to work alongside a series of section adaptors. The new design reduces the number of mast feet stockists need to hold, and makes it easier to install and retrofit.

A feature of the new mast foot 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 its design to aid when stepping the mast, and an “A-line” is used on all fittings to help guarantee perfect alignment between the foot and mast section.

Injection moulded from an advanced composite, the new mast feet and adaptors are significantly lighter in weight than aluminium ones, have high shear strength and are very durable. Unlike the more traditional alloy mast feet, this new range does not react with carbon.
