Title: DN sail battens
Post by: sailboy3 on December 16, 2010, 09:37:32 PM
Does anyone know the proper dimensions for wooden battens? I assume there is some sort of taper to achieve the right camber in the sail.

Thanks, Milo

Do you have a copy of "Think Ice! Millenium Edition - By Lloyd Roberts and Wagner St. Clair"? It has a good section on batten stiffness and spells out dimensions for differing stiffnesses. You can get this from IDNYRA for $15. Worth every penny and then some.
