Selden bowsprit for cruising chute
« on: May 13 2021, 12:36 »
Good morning all,

To use our cruising chute I want to fit one of the below. Has anyone done this? Any photos of the install over the bow roller? What diameter would you suggest for a Bav 40?

Seldén has a sizing table for these: https://support.seldenmast.com/files/595-261-E.pdf

I'd also consider the Batsystem bow platform - very popular in Sweden, practically every boat has one and it does the job of a bowsprit (amongst others) :)
