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 can be slightly greater.
Contact Harken to discuss sail
reshaping to eliminate luff flutter.
NOTE: Adding battens can reduce
stack height by eliminating
intermediate cars.
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
