Selden Rodkicker 30L (2700 mm) – Heavy Gas Spring 5000N

The Selden Rodkicker Type 30L – Min Length 2700 mm – 5000 N Gas Spring is a heavy-duty rigid boom vang engineered for demanding sail handling on larger sailboats and yachts. Equipped with a 5000 N gas spring, this Rodkicker provides exceptionally strong upward force to help lift the boom when the kicking strap is eased, improving mainsail leech opening and supporting precise trim — particularly useful in heavier winds and challenging conditions.

This high-force vang also stabilises the boom during manoeuvres and reefing, preventing it from dropping into the cockpit or onto the coachroof. It increases the mechanical advantage of your kicking strap (kicking strap not included), making it easier to achieve and maintain correct tension. Built from corrosion-resistant materials with a robust construction, the Rodkicker 30L is designed for long-term reliability in demanding marine environments.
