With the new CXe15, Seldén makes electric furling more accessible to a wider range of sailors. The new 12V system is operated by push buttons from the cockpit and is designed for sailing yachts up to approximately 37 feet.
Seldén is expanding its range of electric furling systems for downwind sails with the launch of the new CXe15. Designed for Code 0 sails and gennakers, the system connects directly to the boat's existing 12V electrical system. With simple push-button operation from the cockpit, handling downwind sails becomes easier, allowing sailors to adjust their sail setup to suit changing wind and weather conditions.
The CXe15 is designed for sailing yachts up to approximately 37 feet and complements Seldén's larger electric furling systems, the CXe25 and CXe45. Unlike these systems, which operate on 42V and use a dedicated CAN Bus system, the CXe15 is based on a simpler 12V solution.
"With the CXe15, we want to make push-button electric furling available to a wider audience. By simplifying the technology, we can offer a more affordable solution while allowing more sailors to experience how easy it is to adjust their sail setup to suit the prevailing conditions," says Mats-Uno Fredrikson, Sales Manager at Seldén.
Two mounting options
The CXe15 is available in two versions to suit different boat configurations and sailing needs:
- TD (Through-Deck): A permanently installed solution integrated into a bowsprit.
- OD (On-Deck): A flexible solution that hooks onto a bowsprit or directly to the bow when needed. This version is supplied with a waterproof deck connector (IP68).
Price and availability
The recommended retail price is from €1900, excluding VAT. Deliveries are expected to commence in February 2027.
