Selden OWS Batten Car with M10 Stud – HA 89/A 007

The Selden OWS Batten Car with M10 Stud – HA 89/A 007 is a high-quality sail car designed to improve sail handling performance by reducing friction in the luff groove when hoisting, reefing and dousing your mainsail. OWS (Outer Wheel Support) cars feature four wheels that run along the aft side of the mast section while the body (slug) slides in the luff groove. This design minimises resistance and wear compared with traditional sail slides.

This version is made for batten applications with an M10 threaded stud, fitting batten receptacles and toggles with M10 connections. The depth and slug shape are tailored to correspond with the Holt Allen HA 89 and Bainbridge A 007 slide standards, making it a flexible choice for non-standard or older mast profiles as well as many modern rigs.

Compact, durable and engineered for marine environments, this batten car is a reliable upgrade for cruisers and racers seeking smoother sail movement and reduced hand- or mechanical effort during sail hoisting and lowering.
