Selden Mast Enterprise D Plus Sleeved

The 2007 World Championship winning Seldén D+ mast section continued to perform well in all levels of competition but has evolved to improve downwind performance.

The D+ section was designed specifically for the Enterprise class, which, with its deck stepped rig and minimally tapered topmast, requires a very high sideways stiffness for offwind speed but combined with fore/ aft bend characteristics which enables power upwind to be controlled through fore and aft mast bend.

Testing in 2002 proved that a super stiff lower mast sleeve helps resist the sideways thrust force of the kicker providing a deeper and more powerful sail off wind. The new mast was thoroughly tested by the likes of Ian Pinnell & Jim Hunt and was used by Nick Craig to win the Enterprise World Championships in 2007.

Nick commenting ’...the mast was an integral part in our winning package, giving us a speed edge over the fleet’.

Richard Sault, 2008 National Champion agrees with Nick "The Selden D+ has always been the fastest and most reliable mast around for the Enterprise, the fittings have been good and when there’s ever been a problem or anything to add, the Selden staff are always keen to listen, help and improve. Selden is by far the most professional Spar manufacturer around."

Standard masts are supplied with tenon heel plug, main halyard exit sheave, hook rack for wire main halyard, fully adjustable (length and angle) spreaders, and special topmast taper. Mast is fitted with drawlines for rapid attachment of rigging.
