I would like to know if anyone has installed a 99mm Selden bowsprit on there 470 2010....lets say since on the 2010 there is the new Selden Jib furler which has a crown on the bow.

I have a second hand selden 87mm, and I want to place this in the next weeks on my 470 from 2010.
I am still thinking how to place it on the bow.
Can you place a picture when your selden is in place?

I'm thinking of adding one but am looking to at the 88mm carbon fibre the Selden 088-088-070, such that I can remove it when not in use, as it'll go over the anchor locker. I'm just looking at the type of connections and what strengthening may be needed below deck !

I will use a 162 m2 gennaker, with using a waterstay.
