Typhoon battens

Post by David Thrall »

What is the standard Typhoon batten width(s)? I believe the lengths are (2) 24" and (2) 18", but the widths aren't as easy to tell from the sail pockets. I didn't spot it in the on-line manual, either.

I think they're one inch.

The battens in my old main were 7/8 or 1". New sail (Quantum/Thurston) has battens of at least 1" or 1 1/8". Want me to measure exactly?

My local sailmaker quoted 3/4" over the phone, so it looks like it isn't too critical! Thanks for your input.
