My main has 4 batten pockets. Respectively, top to bottom, the battens are: 12 1/4 20 1/4 22 1/4 22 3/8 inches The batten pockets will accept 1 1/4 in wide battens. Here’s the questions: * What width batten do you use? * Are there any theories such as ½" batten in light airs and wider in heavier air? * Any benefit to using tapered battens? OR… ** Does any of this matter? You know… just put battens in there and go sailing. Thanks, Bill M-17 "Tipperary" Billamicasr.funtigo.com
