batten fasteners vapor 2008

mac33 · 29th November 2009, 03:52 AM

i own a 5.0m 2008 vapor, a fast,light sail.

only 2 problems i have found. the string holding the end of batten tensioner keeps working its way out of grove. have so far bought 2 new screws and just noticed lost another one lost on top batten.

other minor problem is there is no loop provided[at top of sail]to hold sail in place when you want to take mast out of sail.

Glad you like the sail. I am not sure what you mean about the loop. I guess the best way to keep the batten tension is to check them before you go out.

by loop i mean some sails have a little loop[at tip of mast].

this enables you to put a large screwdriver into, then push into grass and pull the mast out when derigging.

n/pryde,severne have it on my other 2 sails.
