Best bet is to add additional battens to the sail, starting from the bottom, 2nd and lastly 3rd, depending on the wind strength.
On the thrown out race, I had stuffed stiff battens in the bottom three and was quickly pulling away from both Mike and Patrick.., that is, until the forestay broke.

That certainly makes sense. Wish a notice flag had gone up that said, "Stiffen your battens, ye land lubbers, afore ye wander out into the screeching winds."
Notice that you have batten sets in the online store:
Battens. But you are switching out battens or adding battens...?
