The Seldén Rodkicker: Your Ultimate Sail Helper!

A Seldén Rodkicker is a go-to solution for smoother sailing adventures. Designed to make reefing a easy, this convenient tool keeps your boom from dropping into the cockpit or onto the coach roof.Equipped with a special gas spring, the Rodkicker lifts the boom easily when you loosen the kicking strap, making it simpler to adjust the mainsail, especially when the wind is light. It also helps you control the kicking strap better. Crafted with care, the Rodkicker has a rounded end that won't snag your sails or bother your crew. Plus, its smooth sliding parts prevent any annoying metal-on-metal noise. And if the kicker suddenly hits the bottom, it absorbs the shock for a smoother ride.If you opt for the gas spring, reefing becomes even easier - it takes the place of the topping lift, making the process quicker and less fussy. And don't worry if you're retrofitting it to your boat - it's easy to do and won't interfere with your existing gear.
The extended block attachment allows the block to turn, enabling the tackle to be operated from either port or starboard. The Rodkicker is supplied with detailed instructions and is easily fitted. If a Rodkicker is retrofitted to an existing rig, the original kicking strap tackle can still be used. Seldén Rodkickers are made of anodised aluminium and are carefully tested to meet stringent quality and performance standards.

Do I need a Rodkicker with a gas spring?

Which size Rodkicker do I need?

It is important to choose the right size. For example, not only the size of the Rodkicker varies, but also the length and the gas spring.The choice is mainly based on the righting moment of a yacht. This is a measure that indicates how much sail a ship can carry. Often this is approximately proportional to the displacement. Second, we look at the type of rigging. This can be either a masthead or fractional rigging. With this information, the correct Rodkicker can be found in the table. Gas springs are available in different strengths to accommodate variations in boom weight ( the sail included) and the Rodkicker angle. The angle varies with gooseneck height and kicker length.
