battens
Posted: Sun Jan 28, 2018 7:44 pm
I recently had my main repaired as needed, after an inspection by a sail loft indicated still in pretty good shape. I decided to replace the battens with stiffer ones.
When installing the new ones of the same length, they are sticking out of the pocket at the leach by an inch. Question - is the luff end of the batten installed up against the car, or are the two car halves loosened, and the forward end of the batten inserted into the car? This would make the car and batten a single unit at the luff.
thoughts?
