Selden Dead-End Bracket for Code 0 Halyard – Max Rope Ø 14

The Selden Dead-End Bracket for Code 0 Halyard – Max Rope Ø 14 is a precision mast fitting engineered to support a 2:1 purchase halyard setup for dedicated Code 0 sails. When flying a Code 0 or similar large headsail, halyard loads can exceed the capacity of standard halyard boxes, sheaves and stoppers. To address this, the dead-end bracket provides a strong, chafe-free halyard termination point inside the mast where the line can be fixed securely, allowing the halyard to run through a block attached to the halyard swivel.

This bracket is sized for rope halyards up to Ø 14 mm and fits a range of Seldén mast sections including E206, C225, C242, C245, C261, C264, C285 and various F-sections up to F305, giving broad compatibility across performance rigs. Installation typically involves cutting an access in the mast wall and securing the bracket with the supplied fasteners (pop rivets or similar).

By fixing the halyard dead end at a robust point inside the mast, the system distributes loads more evenly, reduces stress on other fittings and ensures reliable, high-tension Code 0 hoisting performance.
