Sailmaker’s Instructions
Round Battens
Option 1 -
End the batten pocket about 10" (254 mm) from the receptacle.
Option 2 - Pucker the batten pocket, drawing the edges together. The batten cannot be inserted unless this is done.
Flat Battens
Option 1
End batten pocket about 10" (254 mm) from the receptacle. If this is done, the optional rubber shim may be required.
Option 2 Test to see if the batten will fit inside the receptacle with cloth in place. If necessary, pucker the batten pocket, drawing
the edges together to allow batten insertion into the receptacle.
Optional Shim
For thin flat battens or small diameter round battens you may wish to use the enclosed rubber rectangular piece to shim out the batten to fit
inside the receptacle. To insert the shim, take apart the batten receptacle with the batten inside and place the rubber piece on one side of the
batten and then assemble. Note: Do not lose screw and nuts; they are not captive.
Assembly
When assembling system, choose which side of the sail to put the receptacle and maintain the same side with each batten, Make sure
screws and nuts are tight and that the front of the batten receptacle is pressing on the "puzzle piece" which secures the swivel tang.
