Selden Rodkicker 30L (2700 mm) – No Gas Spring

The Selden Rodkicker Type 30L – Min Length 2700 mm – No Gas Spring is a robust rigid boom vang designed for larger sailboats and higher displacements. This vang helps support the boom when reefing and trimming sails, preventing the boom from dropping into the cockpit or onto the coachroof during manoeuvres. It also effectively doubles the mechanical purchase of your kicking strap when reeved back to the cockpit (kicking strap not included), making it easier to maintain correct tension on the mainsail.

This version is supplied without a gas spring, giving a straightforward vang setup that can be upgraded later if needed — for example by adding a Selden gas spring to assist boom lift when the kicking strap is eased. Built with corrosion-resistant materials and a rugged construction, the Rodkicker 30L delivers dependable long-term performance in challenging marine environments.
