The bolt rope is the plastic extruded section, it goes straight up the mast very easily, much better then a rope type bolt rope.

I have a mix of soft and stiff battens with some tapered, I didn't mess with what Lindsay recommended as I thought it would be the best starting point. I am sure fibrefoam or Lindsay would be happy to sell you more battens Wouldn't be to hard to work out which ones to replace.

He didn't ask my weight, I would be in the heavy weight category at 90kg. He suggested if I felt underpowered I could go for a softer top most batten but I just want to use the sail for a while before I make changes. I doubt that I will as I like the shape now.
