Elevate your sailing performance and simplify off-wind sail handling with the SELDEN Aluminium Retractable Bowsprit Kit. Designed for sailors who demand quality, efficiency, and ease of use, this 2.08-meter sprit tube is the perfect upgrade for flying a gennaker or an asymmetric spinnaker. Unlock your boat´s full downwind potential with a system engineered by one of the most trusted names in marine hardware.
Key Benefits & Superior Design
The Selden retractable bowsprit transforms your sailing experience. By providing a forward tack point clear of the bow pulpit and headstay, it allows for optimal sail shape and significantly improved performance on reaching and running angles. Handling is made safer and simpler, as the entire system can be managed from the cockpit.
This innovative system is designed for ultimate convenience. When not in use, the bowsprit can be securely locked in its retracted position, keeping your foredeck clear and unobstructed for docking, anchoring, or maneuvering in tight spaces. For long-term storage or to maintain classic boat lines, the entire sprit can also be easily dismounted from its support fittings.
