Seldén spinnaker pole centre fittings for dinghy aluminium and carbon poles, covering a cleat, ramp, eye and webbing strop to suit different uphaul and downhaul connection methods and pole stowage arrangements.
How to choose
The centre fitting sits at the midpoint of the spinnaker pole and provides the attachment point for the uphaul and downhaul. The correct choice depends on how the uphaul and downhaul connect to the pole and whether the pole is stowed on the boom or elsewhere.
The centre cleat suits an installation where the uphaul and downhaul lines are knotted directly to the fitting. The centre ramp is a wedge-shaped fitting for an installation where the lines connect via a loop rather than a knot. It is designed for use with on-boom pole stowage using the Seldén stowage loop (603-020-01), where the ramp shape helps the pole slide in and out of the stowage position cleanly. The centre eye is a stainless steel fitting with a wide radiused base and large eye that allows very fast engagement of the uphaul hook during a hoist. It fits all Seldén aluminium and 33mm carbon poles. The centre webbing strop with stainless D ring is the correct centre fitting for 39mm carbon poles where the tube diameter makes the cleat and ramp unsuitable.
