Operates with three velocities for precise and efficient sail handling. The high-speed mode is an electric overdrive and perfect when pulling the slack of for instance a long and unloaded genoa or Code 0 sheet. The Electric winches are manual 2-speed winches fitted to a SEL-Bus driven motor pack allowing for a third high-speed velocity. The back-up solution, in case you ...

Ribs placed asymmetrical provide a strong grip and a harmonious release. The grip on the winch drum combined with a unique self-tailer enables the trimmer to pull the slack out of the sheet with the line sitting in the self-tailer and with the winch handle in position.

Having a furling Code 0 sail set on the bowsprit will deliver the joy that powerful and efficient sailing provides. Combined with a furling jib you will have the ultimate headsail wardrobe from broad reaching to beating upwind, all without leaving the cockpit. The addition of push button convenience guarantees a safe and effortless sailing experience. CXe45 can be i...

A full range of new ratchet blocks for dinghies and keelboats including singles, single/becket, cheek blocks and becket-cams. The single block is available either with a composite sheave or an aluminium sheave and the latter version makes for more grip and the ability to cope with relative thin lines.

Seldén has developed a neat way to fix the Dyneema® to the block by using an insert in the central hollow rivet and they offer a ready-made spliced loop as an option. The standard version of these blocks features stainless steel ball bearings and an acetal sheave, whereas the upgrades version comes with Torlon® ball bearings and an aluminium sheave for higher workloads.

The coach roof is normally the ideal place for a winch that operates halyards, reef lines, outhaul and control lines. The E40i winch is built up around an electric motor which is totally integrated in the drum. Only three thin cables are protruding to lead through the coach roof or the deck, no large cutouts and no external motor or gearbox. This makes for uncompromised ...

Seldén is tweaking the concept of cruising by blending it with a great deal of performance. The Seldén Group is the World’s leading manufacturer of masts, in particular furling masts, which by now after some 30 years is more a standard than an option with a production cruising boat. In the 90’s when sailmakers developed sails with vertical battens and a positive roac...

To make sail handling easier for a small crew we have synchronized an electric motor in the mast with a newly developed electric winch for the outhaul, E40i. Push a button and the sail comes out in a controlled fashion as the winch adjusts the outhaul tension in relation to the motor in the mast. To furl the sail back in to the mast the outhaul is released while pushing ...
