Seldén is launching the CXe15, an electric furling system for Code 0 sails and gennakers designed for sailboats up to around 35 feet. The system is controlled by push-buttons from the cockpit and connects directly to the boat’s 12V system.
For top-down furling of a gennaker, a tack swivel is required at the lower drive unit.
Built for smaller boats
The CXe15 is developed for Code 0 sails and gennakers, bringing electric furling to a format suited to smaller sailboats. It is also intended to complement Seldén’s larger electric furling systems, the CXe25 and CXe45.
The main difference is the level of technology. The CXe25 and CXe45 are powered by 42V and use a dedicated CAN Bus system, while the CXe15 is based on a simpler 12V solution.
Two versions
The system is available in two versions. TD, Through-Deck, is permanently installed at the bow or on the bowsprit. OD, On-Deck, clips to a pad eye at the bow or on the bowsprit when in use.
The OD model comes with a waterproof IP68 deck connector.
