New Streaker Rig Fully Tested

R & D, Steve's Blog No Comments »

When the new Selden Rig came into being for the Streaker,  I was one of the first to take it for a sail with one of our sails cut for the Super Spars Reigel.  Blatantly they have very different bend characteristics as the Selden Lambda is about 15% stiffer all round.  The luff curve needed to be trimmed dramatically.  The initial testing started the long development road to making a sail to fit the mast.  We have worked both on luff curve and cord shape positions to give this rig performance.

Rooster/Selden Streaker  RigThe last tweaks have now been completed and I was blown away by the sweet shape I saw when I was fitting one of our Selden Performance Mylar sails to the Selden Mast for a customer.     At 77Kg, which rig should I now use at this years Nationals? Its flat water sailing venue at Stewartby Sailing Club.  The Nationals at Rutland we pretty light – and the SuperSpars Rigal and Rooster Performance Mylar worked a  dream, but this rig looked so good that I might have to give it a go.

Rooster Performance Mylar Sails and Selden Lambda Masts are in stock at Rooster.
