The Seldén Double Fairlead facilitates the quick and easy set up of a gennaker or Code 0 furler. As this furler type is generally handled with an endless furling line spliced together in a continuous loop, the use of ordinary single blocks or stansion leads prohibits the lead of the line aft to the cockpit. Seldén’s new Double Fairlead is a simple answer to this problem, providing simple ease of use and safe decks.

The Double Fairlead consists of a composite bracket and a spring loaded "push-and-twist" bale constructed from stainless steel. The simple design makes the unit extremely easy to open and attach the line, and just as easy to close. The composite bracket can be fitted to 25 & 30mm stansions and with only requiring the tightening of four bolts, is simplicity itself to retrofit.

This practical solution to a modern problem provides a smooth friction free surface to allow easier furling, and prevents line and operating snags The recommended retail price for the Seldén Double Fairlead (part no: 480-501-01R) is £40.61 excluding VAT.
