Insert Main Sail Battens
Battens are inserted starting at the keel working out to the wing tips.
Remove the battens from the bag. Lay out the top surface battens
(curved) in order of descending length toward the tip. Place the “red”
battens in the left wing (curve forwards), and the “green” battens in the
right. Insert the top surface battens except for the last three battens.
The battens are inserted into the pocket with gentle pressure until they
meet resistance. When securing the battens lift trailing edge, push
fitting in to sail pocket and rotate fitting downward to lock hinge.
