I tried the different top battens thing (3 top battens) but I'm not using it anymore. It didn't work as intended on my pentex mainsail. I guess I agree with Scarecrow on this one.

All the stiffer battens did was mess up my batten pockets on my boltrope. I had to repair a few of them because the much increased batten tension had split them apart. In short, the stiffer batten set for singlehanding wasn't a succes by any stretch of the imagination. At least not in my case.
