I see alot of brands that love a vertical batten. Im not a fan for various reasons, safety in having to remove them in a hurry for 1, are they needed for performance, shape, longevity....no
This email i recieved today from my customer on his moody 38 says it all really, the pictures send it home.
Hi Andy
Just wanted to say we are really pleased with the new sails you made for Jemma. I’ve still got to do some tweaking with car positioning and halyard tension, but already I am getting at least half a knot more speed than the old ones. The main furls and unfurls really easily so we are super happy. Off to the Baltic next week so that we be the real test!
Attached are a couple of photos as promised they are not great as I can’t get far enough away!
Cheers
