Actually the battens are what I found in the sail, when I bought it.
Have the top inverted with full downhaul and strong wind?
No, never, but I think I never applied full downhaul, because I had already enough twist. Actually in strong winds, I am happy with the sail. However having some thoughts about the battens is never wrong.
If your mainsail goes slack in between battens in the leech in light winds...
Maybe I used the wrong wording in my previous posting: It does not go slack, it is tight, but the leech flutters. I think that the distance between the battens is just a bit to long. I do not really worry about that.
I would have put the boat over on its side and spent the time to find out what is really going on
I lack the expirience to judge from the shape of the sail only. I need to go on the water and see the tell tales to understand what happens.
Rolf, thank you very much for the advices. Now, I know, that I should be able to stall the top. And that means that I have still to tweak on the settings. I will have a look at the batten(s) and try if I still can reduce the diamond tension before making them slack.
Cheers,
Klaus
