Carbon Poles

Carbon poles offer a massive weight saving. This results in much faster, less-stressful pole handling. Add to that the reduction in weight up-front on your boat and carbon is an option to seriously consider.

Construction

We have developed our own computer controlled manufacturing method in which prepreg (pre-impregnated) tows are wound onto a mandrel (cylinder) prior to oven curing. This method enables us to exercise full control over every stage of the manufacturing process and guarantee products of consistently high quality. One of the big advantages of this Seldén production method is that it enables us to achieve sufficient durability in the areas subject to the greatest loads and wear.

Carbon Dinghy Poles

The Seldén carbon spinnaker pole comprises a 39mm parallel tube manufactured on our state of the art filament winding machine, using a custom adaptor to take the standard end, this is a must for any development Class.

All our dinghy poles are fitted with the new design spinnaker pole end. Moulded from high modulus composite, with a stainless steel plunger, this is undoubtedly the best pole end on the market (see page 20 for more details).
