Part of the reason I was asking about the Fibergalss battens as replacements, is that it is a 2-3 hour drive(Austin or Houston,Tx) to the nearest Nacra parts dealer. I may be able to find a foam batten locally, but not very likely.Not many Nacras or Prindles in this part of the world, Lots of Hobie's however. I have noticed the glass battens tend to shed glass fibers, which I am concerned about as my sail is relitively new. Making a single batten may be an option I am willing to look at. My other option may be to mix the battens, Foam & Fglass. Anyone ever tried this. Thanks to all for the input.
