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.

Good
Size: X-Large, Color: Riviera Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Riviera Blue
I got XL which is my normal size. It’s a bit roomy which I think is exactly what I wanted for a work shirt. I wanted it to be a no tuck shirt, but it’s too long for that. I’m really disappointed there, but it’s not a dealbreaker. The sleeves are a bit long, but my arms are short, so I will modify it or roll them up, not an uncommon problem for me with shirts but it’s not too bad either. The material is soft and would be good for summer or under a jacket. Someone posted about the collar being messy and that made me nervous to get this shirt, but I have washed it once and the collar remains in good shape. It stands up properly. The wrinkleproof seems to be pretty good.

Good shirt
Size: X-Large, Color: Bel Air Blue
This is a good shirt, I’m 5’ 9” and 220 (old dad bod 50’s), it fits well and the sleeves are a good length. My only thing I don’t like and this is nit-picking: it wrinkles easy. I’m ex military so I like my shirts ironed or pressed, I get it it’s more casual, it’s just my preference. This is a comfortable shirt

Fair quality shirt
Size: Large, Color: Port Red
Decent shirt. No shirt if wrinkle-free so take these claims with a grain of salt. The fabric blend will tell you just how much it will wrinkle. If you leave it in the dryer overnight you can guarantee that even if it was made of cast iron, it would likely have a wrinkle or two. Don't be swayed by a 'label'. The same shirt can have a no-name label sewn on it. Doesn't make the shirt better or worse. It is what it is. Size runs correct. NOT a 'slim fit' shirt, fyi.
