Distance Between Attachment Points
Battens and intermediate cars placed at sailmaker's discretion. Maximum
distance between attachment points is 1.2 m to 1.35 m (4' to 4'6").
Distance may be slightly greater. Contact Harken to discuss
sail reshaping to eliminate luff flutter.
Note: Adding battens may reduce stack height by eliminating luff cars.
Setting Reef Points
Space reef points halfway between sail attachment points.
Battens or reef points may need to be moved. Diagram A.
Note: Batten fittings and cars cannot handle reefing outhaul
or downhaul loads. Transfer loads to a tack fitting. Diagram B.
