Update
The Seldén Epsilon section has been introduced to meet
the demand for a more powerful rig for medium to heavy
weight crews and/or a “straight rig” set-up. It combines
light weight with high sideways stiffness, for maximum
power, but has a responsive topmast and for/aft stiffness
giving a smooth luff shape for the range of conditions.
National and World champion Pirat sailors have chosen
Seldén Epsilon section to give them the ultimate performance.
Seldén’s 2628 boom is ideal for the Pirat being both
light and stiff, allowing absolute mainsheet and kicker
control, available with or without outhaul. Pole is
our stiff, light tapered 38mm section and can be supplied
with or without pole lift eye.

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.
