North Sails?
JD,I'd imagine North Sails could get you a replacement top-batten. They make most of the mains specified for the 170, and they were fairly competitive when I had a SECOND set of reef points put into my 170 main-- in case you're wondering, I haven't used the second reef yet! Anyway, you might want to try North Sails. The closest one to me is in Tampa, but I'd imagine they have a GA. office.Mike G.
