A six wheel, 68 mm long intermediate car in aluminium, with shaft and bushing for webbing applications. 

This is the car used between and below the full-batten cars.

 

The MDS full-batten concept  -  Full support in all directions

As the name implies, Seldén’s MDS (Multi-Directional Support) cars are supported in all directions, making sail handling simpler.

A full batten always creates a side load on the cars, particularly when you release the halyard for taking a reef. Each MDS car has side-load absorbing wheels that run against the guiding flanges in the luff groove. The interaction between the mast section and the MDS car deals with longitudinal loads, as well as side loads. This is the essence of the MDS concept. Since the cars need no external track, there is also less weight aloft.

The MDS cars are easy to keep clean and are easy to install or remove from the luff groove. 

The MDS system is a suitable complement to the Seldén Single Line Reef boom. With such a combination on board, you have a simple and easily manoeuvred system for handling the mainsail in all weathers.

Compact, incredibly absorbent, and a travel essential.
Color: Gray, Size: 48.00" x 24.00"
The Rainleaf microfiber towel has been a fantastic addition to my gear. It’s remarkably compact and lightweight, which makes it perfect for tossing into a gym bag or packing for trips without taking up unnecessary space. Despite its size, it’s surprisingly super absorbent and dries much faster than a standard cotton towel, which is a huge plus when you're on the move. It’s well-made, feels durable, and is definitely a must-have for anyone who travels, camps, or hits the gym regularly.

Great Travel Towel !!
Color: Mint Color, Size: 72.00" x 40.00"
I travel for work. The last few years I've noticed the quality of hotel towels has gone downhill. I suspect that they are not replacing them as often to save money. So not only are hotel towels too small, they are thread bare, thin and scratchy. So I thought about bringing my own towel, but, it's not practical as they are heavy and bulky to pack, and they take a long time to dry. This Rainleaf Microfiber towel is the answer to my prayers. I bought the big one, 70 X 40. I tested it at home. It is kinda strange to dry off with it because it's different. Not bad, just different. It smooth but not soft and fuzzy like a cotton towel. BUT, it dries amazingly well. It doesn't even get that wet. It's more like patting dry then rubbing you dry, it you know what I mean. Once you get used to it, it works great. Even though is it huge at 70" X 40", it weighs less than 1 pound. Super small and great for packing. Corner pocket would be good at the beach for keeping valuables out of sight. It's my new go-to hotel towel. I may even bring it on my cruise !

Dries quickly and very portable
Color: Violet, Size: 72.00" x 40.00"
Dries you off quickly, is light weight, and very portable. I bought this to use for the gym, where we’ve been having to shower (instead of at home) as our water heater has gone out. Until we get it replaced we’ve been having to use the shower at the gym after our workout. I wanted a towel that would also be good for taking to the pool when I lap swim. This fits the bill. It dried me super quickly (less than 1 min I was fully dry). It didn’t weigh the towel down either. I got the extra large one, and I am 5’6” and it was plenty big to wrap around me while I was walking around to get dressed. It’s super easy to tie using the corners and it will stay put on you. I really like this. I will likely buy a few more in smaller sizes to use for hair, kids, pets, etc. it’s really good for the gym, showering on the go, and the pool so you can dry faster. I plan on using the smaller ones also for taking on a run in the hot Florida summer to keep the sweat from dripping. It doesn’t seem to have an odor, and time will tell if the towel’s silver ion feature works well, but this was worth the price in my mind.

Very compact, yet absorbent
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 48.00" x 24.00"
This is a unique kind of towel that has very little volume and rolls up to a tiny size. It would be great for a camping trip, or any situation where size is important. It's also surprisingly absorbent, considering how thin it is. I use it for toweling off after taking a shower at the gym. I should also mention that it dries very quickly. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is kind of "sticky" when you're running it across your body. That takes some getting used to.

Great quality, and great performance!
Color: Purple, Size: 48.00" x 24.00"
Got this to take on a camping road trip where we camped at three different locations all around Arizona. Needed something that would dry quick, but also be absorbent to dry me off, and this exceeded my expectations. It’s a really nice brushed, cotton kind of feel, but dries quickly. Next time I will order a larger size though. I’ve had this one for a couple years.
