I just purchased a new used main for my Hobie 20. It is a 1998 model, and came with green foam battens.



Hobie Cat updated their battens sometime around 1998 or later to austrian white foam battens. Anyone have any reports on one kind of battens versus the other?



Has anyone out there switched? I think I want to get the new battens, as the green ones seem a bit on the stiff side for the current sail.



Any reports from you racin' folks would be appreciated!



Fair winds,



Tim J.
