3.1 Forestay attachment - guiding principle
3.2 Mast attachment
Some Seldén forestay attachment options are shown below, illustrating the rules and exceptions.
For H dimensions, see Table 3.3.3.
The guiding principle is that the forestay connections should allow sufficient articulation
in all directions. In most cases a toggle should be fitted between the Furlex stay and
the forestay attachments.
3.3 Deck attachment
The lower end of the Furlex-system is fitted with a fork toggle as standard. This can normally be
attached directly to the boat’s forestay fitting at the stemhead.
Check that the lower bearing assembly and line guide do not interfere with the pulpit, navigation
lights or other deck fittings.
