Extra stiff batten in the lower pocket? Or a second batten in the lower pocket?
If you use a second batten, don't you run the risk of damage to the sail?!
Because you can't cram two battens into the batten pocket protector?!
Plus, who actually sells a stiffer batten?
Earlier, Mike said:
There is no substitute for regular racing to get good and dial the boat in for various conditions. I guess I will have to get a little more ambitious and start playing around with battens myself if I want to keep up with these guys.
Yes, but... Flattening the sail and twist-off and other sail shaping techniques are just good basics. Not something special, but something everyone ought to know how to routinely do. True?
