- If you're interested in Code 0’s, Cruising Chutes, Asymmetric Spinnakers or Top Down Furlers you're probably thinking about a bowsprit.
The first of a two part series where British boatbuilder Chris Foster focuses on bowsprits. Explaining what the benefits are, how to use one and what to consider when fitting one to your own boat.
In this episode he fits a Carbon bowsprit to Najad 332 cruiser and gives you the lowdown on what you need to know to fit one to your own boat!

An excellent vid. Well described and great videography. Keep them coming ...
Thanks for the support! It means a lot 😀
Watched your content up to now catching up, I really don’t understand why you two don’t have more subscribers?? Great content, well shot, charismatic hosts, great all round knowledge and just great to watch. I’m really looking forward to following your journey, best of luck people and everybody follow these guys.
Hey Andrew! Seriously thank you so much for your kind words of huge support! Really gives us a boost! 👊🏼 Stoked to have you along on this journey with us!
Thanks deepbluedirt. A really informative video. Looking forward to the next one.
Yahooo pleased you got something out of it! That’s what we want to hear 😉
Great episode. Can't wait for the next one 😊
Thanks Simon! Nor can we- lots going on for this wee adventure rocket 😆 we can’t wait to share it all!
nice Najad!
Thanks! She’s an absolute pocket rocket on the water!
If you have a Wichard D Ring then you can sand down the plastic feet of the inboard end by 1 or 2mm and it fits without a problem. I know because I’ve just, very cautiously, done it.
Hey, nice work! Thanks for letting us know! Nothing better than getting around a problem manually! 👍🔧
PS: This was a tip from Zaphod on Jeanneau Owners Proboards forum so don’t want to take all the credit for this!
Chris, did you thru bolt the pad eyes? I assumed that you did I just couldn't see how you addressed the inside. I do like your videos really informative and the perfect balance of tech and muscle. cheers!
Hi Steve,
Thanks! So, yes… through bolted with washers in the aft part as it’s in compression and a large spreader plate at the front as it is in tension there. Sorry I missed that 👍
Great job! looks amazing
Thanks! It’s been a dream sailing with it this season!
Amazing
Woop Woop thank you!! Really cool to have now a carbon stowage fitting for the carbon bowsprit. Can’t wait to be on the water testing it out!
Almost an excellent video. Could you move the camera in for a close up so I can see what you are try to describe. I want to be a parrot on your shoulder trying to see what you’re doing. Cheers
Hi Andrew! Sure thing, notes taken. Thanks so much for helping us - we really need pointers like this, much, much appreciated 👍
I watched the first video and found it very informative. I subscribed but I can't find the second video. Did you make a second video? If so, where can I find it?
Hey, there is just the one… unfortunately I broke my neck and we didn’t manage the second one yet.
We will though, I am now doing quite well so hold fast, we hope to be back on the boat a bit next season!
p.s thanks for subscribing! Great to have you on board with us!
Broke your neck? Wow! You're lucky to be alive. Glad to hear you survived and are on the road to recovery.@@SailHub
@FireFly14801 yup, super, super lucky! I have to take some time out of cruising to heal so it’s day sailing for a while… and a project. A big project! Basically to keep me off the water 😂🤦♂️
👍👍👍
Cheers fella!
Great video of the installation. Currently doing the same on a Bene 473, using a Selden 90 degree bracket bolted through the bow roller. But how do you remove the plastic inner ring from the bracket?. I called Selden UK, but they did not know.
Thanks! So… it’s a stiff old piece of stubborn plastic alright. Pop the metal ring in a vice and prise it out with your hands (or maybe screwdrivers) - it does come out! However you shouldn’t really need to take it out - you can just line the plastic ring up so that the hole allows access to the centre torx bolt, remove the bolt and it all comes apart.
What make is the boat?
Hi! The boat is Swedish. She’s a Najad 332 👍🏼 any other questions fire them our way 😃
I bet that wasn’t cheap!
Aye, Selden gear is at the cheapest but it’s certainly worth it in our eyes. So well built, so simple to use and nothing to worry about!👍
Too much noise, not enough information.
Thanks for the comment, we will bear that in mind for our next video. We find it quite hard to make a video for everyone as all boats are so different and is is true with knowledge and ability so please let us know what you want to know and we will get back to you 👍
