Our 17 is at a lake an hour and a half from here and I need to have the width of the battens for the mainsail without driving all the way up there to check.The main that came with it has no battens. I wrote it down somewhere two weeks ago but can't find the note. My memory is saying an inch and a quarter in width but I'm scared to trust that. I want to buy them this week so I'll have them ready for next weekend so we can get out on the water. Anyone know this by heart or have a situation where it is easy to check for me?
