What are your thoughts on modifying my standard H260 main by adding full battens? If I send my main to Doyle, any idea on estimated costs for the conversion?

Full Batten Conversion

Mike, If your main is in fairly good condition you might consider converting the top 2 battens to full. This will have the effect of inhibiting flogging in the upper half of the sail where it is usually the most severe. I don't think there is much point in converting all the battens on a 26ft boat. For boats under 30ft we charge $125 per pocket, which includes pocket w/reinforcement, front end receptacle, and batten. Thanks, Bill C. Doyle Sails
