Seldén trapeze adjusters, handles, ring assemblies and a T-terminal for dinghy trapeze systems, available as complete adjuster sets or individual components for single or twin trapeze wire installations.
How to choose
A dinghy trapeze system needs a height adjustment mechanism, a handle for the crew to hold and a ring or block for the trapeze hook to engage. This collection covers all three elements plus the terminal fitting for HMPE trapeze wires.
If you are fitting a complete trapeze system, the complete trapeze adjuster set (538-343-01) is the starting point. It is a full port and starboard set, each adjuster comprising a valley roller cleat, a trapeze ring with ball bearing sheave and 5mm pre-stretched polyester adjustment rope. The cleats can be directly spliced onto HMPE trapeze wires, or connected to a pressed eye via the included shackle. The system allows continuous height adjustment by pulling on the rope which loads into the roller cleat.
The trapeze disk handle set (319-767-01) is used together with the adjuster set. Each handle comprises a disk and tube that fits onto the trapeze wire above the valley cleat, giving the crew a comfortable grip point at the correct position on the wire. It is not a self-contained handle but works as part of the complete adjuster assembly.
If you only need the ring assembly as a replacement, the trapeze ring with ø20mm ball bearing block (402-101-19R) is available individually. The stainless ring accepts a standard trapeze hook and the block allows the adjustment line to run with minimal friction. The trapeze T-terminal for HMPE (308-576) has a welded ring for connecting an HMPE splice to the trapeze wire system, suited to single or twin trapeze wires and HMPE lower shroud applications.
