Typhoon Battens?

Post by Jeff_Mau »

Where can a guy locate battens for the original sails (main and 100) for the Typhoon Weekender?

Jeff,

Try Sail Care. They provided new wooden battens for a couple of originals that were missing. This was just last year when I had the sails cleaned. Hope this helps.

Jeff- if you don't mind fiberglass any sailmaker should have them, or you can get them at www.defender.com.
