Update
Seldén spars are soon becoming established
as the fastest Yawl spars available. The Seldén
Cirrus section was specifically designed for the
large dinghy classes and has with a long unsupported
tapered topmast - its unique bend characteristics
enable power and sail shape to be accurately controlled
using deck level, rig tension and kicker control
to suit the range of crew weights and wind strengths.
Seldén benefited from the input of Mike
Roberts, established Devon Yawl tuning expert, which
enabled the rig to be further refined.
Seldén 2633 Boom section has the unique
strength for weight characteristics necessary to
achieve absolute mainsheet and kicker control and
our boom slides allow direct attachment of kicker
and mainsheet blocks.

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.
