4.22 - Battens
a)
Cut along dotted lines to form the correct sail numbers.
Sail numbers are supplied with each sail.
NUMBERS MUST BE PLACED
HIGHER ON THE STARBOARD
SIDE.
Unroll your new sail. There are faint lines on the
sail to show you where to stick the sail numbers.
b)
Batten key should be on clew of sail.
Check the inboard ends of the battens are positively
located in the inboard plastic end tting. To tension, turn
the key clockwise until the cloth becomes just tight. If it
is over tightened you will have trouble tacking the head
of the sail in light weather. Insufcient tension and the
sail will set up too at with wrinkles running down from
the head.
