Full vs partial battened main - SailNet Community
2012年10月23日 · I bought a fully battened main for my 31 from Rolly Tasker in Thailand (via a US agent). A fully battened main makes up somewhat for my less than perfect sail trim skills. The quality of the sail is excellent when measured against what I paid for it. You are welcome to come by and have a look at it. Al Lorman S/V Ann West, PSC 31 No. 55 Annapolis
Fully battened main - SailNet Community
2001年3月26日 · Agree with paulk on sail shape. I also have a fully battened main and would advise that you pay careful attention to the batten retention technique. My preference--after a warranty issue with North Sails--is to insert the battens from the luff end and have the batten pocket closed at the leech.

roller furling v battened main and hank on head sails
2013年11月2日 · I started this thread to help me with my boat search. I've got some good ideas and information and the must haves are, reefable full battened main, roller furling head sail, some way to easily put on a storm jib and fin keel. I'm not having much luck with the storm jib gear because I wouldn't want to deal with running back stays and all that.
Full or partial battens? | SailNet Community
2010年2月8日 · A typical full-battened main is cut to suit some pre-bend in the mast, yet my masthead rig has no pre-bend at all. As such, I'm thinking of buying a used too-tall pin top, cutting it down, and adding just one or two full battens. With just two battens hopefully I can forego battcars etc. Is this approach completely ridiculous?
Full Batten or Partial Batten Main? | SailNet Community
2007年11月12日 · Greater sail area, since a fully battened main can have a greater roach; Can often use slightly lighter cloth than would otherwise be possible due to having the battens-this is basically a wash most of the time since you have the additional weight of the battens; Less flogging, since the battens help prevent the sail from flogging
Battens Vs No Battens | SailNet Community
2014年8月28日 · Hell, I'll bet if you found a servicable battened main in a dumpster, you'd give it a whirl in a heartbeat Me, I'm very happy with my full-battened main and lazy jacks. Incredibly easy sailhanding, especially for singlehanding. I believe full battens can actually help prolong the life of a main, as flogging essentially becomes a non-issue...
They came up with a mix of the parallel-battened and fan-battened sail (Fig 2 middle). This was the shape I used for my first sail on my Malena in 1990. You can read more about their sails and every aspect of the JR in their monumental work, Practical Junk Rig. Fig 2, right shows the sail I rigged on my present boat, Johanna, in 2002. It is ...
Stack pack vs. standard mainsail cover | SailNet Community
2020年12月28日 · We do have a full battened mainsail. First, many pack systems allow one to pull the jacks to the mast and the bag to the boom, so none of the snagging concerns should ever be an issue. If one's pack system does not, this is easy to alter with some extra jackline, a cleat, and maybe a small block.
mainsail roach, battens, weather helm, and mast placement
2008年4月20日 · (Fresh from the boat show) For a cruising vessel not having battens has a number of advantages. e.g. There is less wear on the sail and it should last three times longer than a battened sail, it can be reefed without having to head up wind, in fact it can be reefed while still powered up, it can be let out further when running.
