Dale, I made a set for a friend's 32' boat one weekend when he had left his at home, 250 miles away. I just measured the batten pockets in the sail, bought some lattice (batten) stock at the lumber yard, cut and sanded to fit. They worked fine.

I got the boat from the insurance company for salvage but she is seaworthy now. I cannot find a sample to get three more battens. What size battens do M17's have in general or point me in the right direction to get the right ones?
