[C320-list] Main Sail Mast Furler

[stepkap]

The Selden spec sheet for the recommended C320 Rodkicker indicates a maximum support force of 550 pounds which I know is a lot greater than what is achieved with the spring loaded vang which came with Saline.  I have contacted the local Rigger that handles Selden to request a visit to Saline and inspect what I've got and what is involved in conversion. 

Much thanks for the help.

Steve

My Selden Rodkicker has what is called a “gas spring.”  Basically a gas charged shock similar to a lift gate spring in a car.

See the specsheet at the link below:
