Well I went to North Sails and asked for a quote. they basically didn't want to mess with it as it would get expensive fast with all 9 batten luff pockets. However, they did order up 8 baten pockets by Bainbridge? the 300 series I think. Anyhow they are lots tougher than the rubbery ones that are crumbling. I replaced the tack batten luff with the 6 bolt style and think I'm going to get a lot of life out of this old sail. It was easy enough to do myself, and the locktite idea is a good one--thanks!
