Selden Rodkicker
A Selden Rodkicker is designed to perform many functions. First, it facilitates sail handling when reefing, preventing the boom from dropping into the cockpit or onto the coach roof. Next, when fitted with Selden gas spring, that keeps the boom lifted when the vang line is released, opening the leech of the sail.
The Rodkicker comes in various types depending on the size of the boat and the maximum righting moment. After you have chosen the correct size based on your boat size, there are options as to whether you want a gas spring or not, and if so then what degree of gas spring you need.
The extended block attachment lug allows the block to turn, so you can easily operate from port or starboard. The end fittings have an enclosed sheaved and recessed split pin that doesn't snag the sails or crew. Inner extrusion end plug prevents metal to metal contact by acting as an easy-slide bushing. The upper sliding bearing is designed as an elastic buffer to diffuse the shock if the kicker suddenly bottoms. Carefully tested to meet strict performance and quality standards. Made of anodized aluminum.
Below you will find the information regarding what type of Rodkicker you should choose.

To choose the correct Rodkicker and Gas Spring System please choose your type:
|
 |
Type 5 Rodkicker by Selden
|
Gas spring eliminates the need for a topping lift, making reefing and sail storage easy. Gas springs are available in a range of strengths, to cover variations in boom weight (including the stowed sail) and the Rodkicker angle. The angle varies with gooseneck height and kicker length. The integral 2:1 purchase doubles your existing vang purchase. Can be easily retrofitted to an existing rig. Reuse your current vang system or put together a new one. The vang system is excellent for light air main trim.
Type 05: Designed for boats that are either fractional and weighing 2.5 tons or masthead weighing 3.9 tons.
Small:
Height of Boom (HBX): Less/equal to 900mm (35.43in)
Minimum Length: 1150mm (45.27in) |
