Replacement Sail Battens

[Greg Holmen]

With the launch of our boat this weekfor the season, I realized that I am missing the upper two battens from ourDoyle Main Sail. Has anybody have advice on where to findsuitable replacements?I must not have had the ends secured insome windy weather the end of last year??!!

Buy a Roll

West Marine (and others) sell them by the roll. I think there's about 50' in a roll. You buy the ends separately but I've just sanded off the edges and not messed with the end caps. We also put a couple of stitches in each of the Velcro loops and haven't lost any lately. I've never seen one get thrown but they sure turn up missing.KenS/V Wouff Hong

Good suggestion by Ken

Thank you ken since I would suggest buying the role from Wezt Marine as it is cheaper.Crazy Dave
