Lower Fore St, Beer, East Devon, EX12 3EG
Four track sizes are available for yachts up to 65 feet.
We list the most popular travellers and end stops, with other cars available on request.
Choosing the right system can depend on the size of the dinghy or yacht.
Use the chart and calculator below and the guidelines from Seldén when selecting your Seldén Mainsheet and Genoa Travellers.
The load on a genoa car depends on yacht's power and the sheet angle. A big overlapping 150% genoa has a flat angle of approximately 45º, and a 110% high performance jib will have a steep angle close to 80º. All safe working loads for Seldén genoa cars are based on 70° sheet angle, which gives a total deflection angle (a) of 110º. All safe working loads on Seldén main cars and self tacking cars are based on 10° sheet angle.
