A Selden removeable/retractable
gennaker bowsprit,
sold as a kit for adaption to your yacht. Basically, you fit two
pad eyes on deck in line with the bow bracket. The bow
bracket is a stainless ring with a polyamide (PA) inner
lining through which you slide the bowsprit to active
position. When you’re done with the gennaker, slide
the bowsprit back and secure it to the aft pad eye. The
inboard end features a spring-loaded plunger for easy
attachment to the pad eye.
The gennaker tackline is preferably pulled through the
bowsprit. The line enters a well rounded hole in the
outboard end and comes out through the inboard end.
Alternatively, a tack block can be fitted to the outboard
end.
Selden Bowsprit kit includes:
• Bowsprit aluminium tube
• Inboard end complete with plunger and pop rivets
• Outboard end fixed to the tube
