SELF TACKING JIB SYSTEMS

A self-tacking jib makes life on board a lot easier, particularly for short-handed crews. The jib sheet is led

to a car which moves to leeward during the tack with no need to touch the sheet. Tacking is as simple as

steering the boat through the wind.

System 22 is designed as a universal retro-t self-tacking system for sail boats ranging from approximately

25 to 35 feet. The length of the legs can be cut to the correct length and the angle of the track and deck

ttings are adjustable. The track is available from stock in two standard radiuses to give a good alignment

of the sheet load to the car and track. Simply, the system ts to most boats, but exceptions will naturally

occur and should be considered prior the purchase.

Obstacles can be objects such as a hatch or a ventilator tted just forward of the mast or the

construction of the deck which must be solid as opposed to a sandwich construction.

Track, car, consoles, deck ttings and blocks for the sheet arrangement makes for a complete system.

The sail must be designed for a self-tacking system and cannot overlap the mast. The routing of the sheet

must also be planned for in advance. Customized tracks, single curved or double curved can be ordered

by submitting necessary measurements, see enquiry form 595-952-E, available at www.seldenmast.com.

3. Assembly preparations

3.1 Required tools

Ensure you have the following tools before starting the assembly:

• Hacksaw

• File

• Allen keys 2.5mm, 5mm and 6mm

• Socket wrench with 13mm socket

• Spanner 10mm

• Measuring tape or ruler

• Pen

• Tape

• Drill, Ø6.2 drill bit

• Marine sealant

3.2 Required fasteners

Fasteners for attaching the self-tacking system to the deck are not included.

Up the mast

The advantage of routing the sheet up the mast and back to the cockpit is to keep the foredeck clean

from lines. The sheet is led from the car, up the front of the mast and into the mast through a sheave box

installed at a height of 50% of the fore triangle. The sheet exits the mast through a slot tting and turns

through a block at the foot of the mast and back to the cockpit. The deck light and the steaming light on

the mast might need to be relocated. Sheet cranes are available for boats tted with Vertical Pole Stowage

(VPS) system. See options page 18.

To avoid over loading the sheave box in the mast, a 2:1 purchase on the

sheet and consequently a single becket block for the car is required.

The track to be angled 80° to the horizontal plane.

The load on car and block arrangement is approximate the sheet load x 1.5.

3.3 Sheet arrangement

There are two common ways to set up a sheet arrangement for a self-tacking system.

The sheet can be led over the fore deck or up the mast.

The routing of the sheets aects:

• The angle of the track

• The radius of the track

• The load on the car

Over the fore deck

This is the simplest and most common arrangement. The sheet is led from the clew of the sail,

through a single block on the car, to a block at the bow and back to the cockpit.

The track to be angled 35° to the horizontal plane.

The load on the car and block is approximate sheet load x 1.75.
