If you can come up with a layout of reinforcing that will match the performance of a fully battened sail, apply for a patent <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I dont think you will tough, the battens are needed to keep the shape in the sail and work somewhat under compression. Without them the shape will be difficult to control and excessive roach and square tops would have to go.
