Seldén offers a wide range of deck fittings including friction blocks, ball blocks and roller blocks. The range also includes mainsail and genoa tracks, cleats and other equipment to simplify your maneuvers. All of these products are designed to meet the characteristics of each boat and the expectations of each sailor. Each Seldén part is carefully designed and sized specifically for the boat it is intended for.

Seldén's range of deck fittings includes many items of equipment that are necessary for the user to be able to navigate properly. In detail, the range of blocks includes ball bearing blocks, standard blocks, roller blocks and return blocks. For example, the PBB friction sheaves offer a particularly optimized strength/weight ratio thanks to the fiberglass composite and marine stainless steel of which they are made. The RBB roller blocks, with their aluminum flanges and Torlon rollers, will satisfy the most demanding sailors.

The range also includes friction rings, cleats, chainplates and a complete range of mainsail and genoa tracks.

New Soft Shackle ball bearing blocks have been added to the range, while Cam-cleats and winch blocks have been redesigned to make their performance even more attractive. In short, the range of fittings is constantly being developed to meet the technical requirements of sailboats and sailors. Seldén aims to produce reliable, high quality equipment to make sailing safer and more efficient.

Installing new deck equipment will mean a considerable reduction in maneuvering effort. Whether it's in windy conditions, where time savings are a source of comfort and safety, or in light airs to fine-tune your settings. The differences will be visible immediately! In addition to a modern aesthetic, this will give your boat a second youth and a valuable investment in case of resale!

When designing its products, Seldén makes it a priority to make life easier for sailors. Take the example of genoa or mainsail tracks. In addition to conventional fastening systems, Seldén offers an innovative solution with sliding inserts in the track. This will allow you to keep the exact hole spacing of your old equipment and simplify the upgrading of your equipment, avoiding the need to fill in the old mounting holes.
