Selden OWS Sail Car HA 89/A 007 – Low-Friction Sail Handling

The Selden OWS Sail Car HA 89/A 007 – Low-Friction Sail Handling is a high-performance sail car engineered to improve the movement of full-batten mainsails on cruising and racing yachts. Utilizing the Outer Wheel Slider (OWS) system, this sail car runs on four low-friction wheels that roll along the aft face of the mast while the slider body glides smoothly inside the luff groove. This design significantly reduces resistance and wear compared with traditional sail slides.

Specifically shaped for compatibility with HA 89 sail slide standards from Holt Allen and A 007 standards from Bainbridge, this sail car provides a reliable upgrade or replacement on mastheads with these groove specifications. It delivers consistent performance under load and contributes to smoother sail handling with reduced effort.

Constructed from durable materials suitable for marine environments, the Selden OWS sail car offers long-lasting strength and dependable performance. For optimal results, use in combination with compatible batten receptacles and secure to the mainsail as required.
