Hi Matt, I went for the foam battens, I just asked Gary, Tim and Neil at the Nats what they were using and asked Lindsay Irwin to give me the same. There is a combination of hard and soft, some tapered, some not. I tested them by putting some marks on the sail at max draft then took lots of pictures of the sail with varying amounts of downhaul, outhaul and mainsheet pressure from underneath the sail, laying on the tramp with the boat strapped to the trailer on a windy day. Then download the pics onto the computer and measure were the max draft really is and guess what? It was in the right spot already, no stuffing around grinding battens.
