Your sailmaker has all the necessary sailmaker information through the Seldén Sail Makers Guide. The Sail-

makers Guide can be downloaded from www.seldenmast.com

Note that if you want to use an existing sail, it will need some modifications.

•  The luff length needs to be adjusted.
•  A luff tape is required. The luff tape must be compatible with the Furlex luff extrusion geometry.
•  Use webbing loops at the sail head and tack instead of grommets (cringles). The sail will then form tightly 

round the luff extrusion when furling, and achieve a better shape when reefed.

1.5 Sail information

Fig. 1.5.c

It is most important that the halyard swivel is located so that the halyard satisfies the 10–15° 

angle requirement. If the sail prevents the swivel from reaching the  

correct position, the luff length needs to be adjusted.

IF THE SAIL IS TOO LONG: Shorten the sail, e.g. in conjunction with changing to a luff 

tape compatible with Furlex.

IF THE SAIL IS TOO SHORT: Lengthen the sail by means of a HMPE or wire pendant 

fitted to the head of the sail. Attach the pendant directly to the sail to prevent unintentional 

removal, loss or exchange.
